Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fluid machinery has been widely used in agriculture, hydroelectric power plants, and chemical industry, among other applications, for various transport processes of different kinds of fluids. With the rapid development of high-performance computers and advanced numerical algorithms, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology has become an energy- and time-saving method to design and optimize fluid machinery. It can not only predict the performance of fluid machinery, but also visualize the complex flow vortexes in the turbulence flow field and even quantify the flow-induced unsteady forces by rotating units. Additionally, demands for higher reliability, better efficiency, longer lifespan, and enhanced anti-cavitation fluid machinery require advanced optimization methods with the help of CFD technology.
Even though CFD has been applied in the design of fluid machinery and made some achievements in the research on performance and design methods, there are still great challenges ahead to enhance the performance optimization of fluid machinery and its systems. At present, wider performance range, part-load conditions, unsteady flow, flow-induced vibration, and other problems are a promising research areas around the world.
This Special Issue seeks high-quality original research focusing on the latest novel advances regarding the Design and Optimization of Fluid Machinery by means of CFD. Original research and review articles are welcome.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Design and optimization of fluid machinery;
- Cavitation performance and its control;
- Numerical simulation of transient flow and unsteady flow;
- Flow-induced vibration in fluid machinery;
- Multiphase flow;
- Irrigation and drainage;
- Innovative technologies for flow control.

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. Water is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
