Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The physics of rarefied gas transport at micro and nano scales and at hypersonic regimes has attracted the attention of many researchers from multi-disciplinary fields. The detection of non-intuitive and unusual behaviors of gas flow at the micro and nano scales has assisted engineers in developing a diverse range of technologies, from lab-on-a-chip devices for medical diagnostics to water filtration systems using carbon nanotubes. Advances in kinetic theory and numerical methods to treat rarefied gas flows, such as direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC), Fokker–Planck, and other schemes, make the study of flow at hypersonic regimes and beyond less time-consuming and more accurate.
This Special Issue aims to elucidate past developments, report the current knowledge, and illuminate the future of rarefied gas dynamics. As a leading researcher in the field, we would very much appreciate if you could contribute to this Special Issue by reporting your work on advancing our understanding of rarefied gas flows from micro–nano scales to hypersonic regimes.
Potential topics will include, but are not limited to:
- Boltzmann and related equations;
- Continuum-based simulation of micro and nano scale flows and at hypersonic regimes;
- Extended hydrodynamics;
- Fluid surface interactions including the Knudsen layer;
- Direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC): Numerical advances and applications;
- Molecular and continuum simulations at micro and nanoscale;
- Experimental micro and nano flows and hypersonic regime;
- Shale gases and porous media flows;
- Gas kinetic theory;
- Multiphase flow at micro and nano scale;

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. Fluids is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
