The Industrial Applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a Special Issue on Industrial Applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has a long standing in research, where it compliments experimental studies. The significance of CFD lies not only in its ability to elucidate the underlying physics of fluid flow but also in its potential to optimize designs, enhance product performance, and mitigate operational inefficiencies, thereby fostering innovation and competitiveness in industrial sectors.

This Special Issue aims to explore the diverse, multidisciplinary and wide-ranging industrial problems and applications that are solved with the help of computational fluid dynamics. By highlighting the innovative use of CFD, this Special Issue aims to bridge the gap between theory and practical solutions, facilitating advancements in fields crucial to engineering. We particularly welcome publications that discuss emerging application areas in which CFD has traditionally not been widely used, as well as pure academic research that is able to demonstrate its advantages when applied to an industrial problem, with the potential to improve and influence industrial practices in the near future. The use of open-source CFD software is also of particular interest to highlight the current trends in such tools in both academic and industrial domains.

For this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Aeronautical engineering;
• Thermal engineering;
• Automotive engineering;
• Mechanical engineering;
• Civil engineering;
• Environmental engineering;
• Marine engineering;
• Biomedical engineering;
• Chemical engineering;
• Process engineering.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
