Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, new methodologies to guide the design of complex systems such as turbomachinery have been introduced into industrial practices.
The performance enabled by new computer architectures, together with consolidated collaboration between industry and academia, has led to a broader framework of actions that can be performed from the preliminary design stage, reducing the time needed to develop a new product.
The computer-aided engineering paradigm of a sequence of operations, from CAD to FEM, then to manufacturing and, finally, to model updates, is changing to a model-based design framework where the designer is supported in reducing the simulation time and engineering time to validate a complex design, including a database of measurements in the field to predict the behavior of the system in service.
This Special Issue deals with new approaches to optimizing the design of complex systems such as turbomachinery, including the following topics:
- Parametric reduced-order models;
- Exploitation of high-performance computing;
- Digital twin development;
- Multiphysics simulation environments including aero-elastic effects, contact mechanics, and friction joint modeling;
- New hybrid electric solutions for propulsion systems in aviation and related structural supports;
- Machine learning and data-driven design methods;
- Life-cycle assessment for sustainable designs.

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.
