Computational Biofluid Dynamics

Dear Colleagues,

In the realm of healthcare and biomedical research, understanding the complex behaviors of biofluids—such as blood, respiratory gasses, and cellular fluids—is critical. Computational biofluid dynamics is an interdisciplinary field that combines computational fluid dynamics with biological insights and computational science, providing a powerful tool to simulate and predict fluid behavior across various biological systems. This integration is essential for advancing our knowledge in physiology and pathophysiology, particularly in the design and evaluation of medical therapies and devices.

This Special Issue seeks to highlight cutting-edge research in computational biofluid dynamics. We aim to explore how these computational techniques can be applied to real-world medical challenges, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, treatment efficacy, and device innovation.

The scope of this issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• The development of computational models for diverse biofluid applications in cardiovascular and pulmonary systems.
• The utilization of advanced computational fluid dynamics to study fluid behavior under normal and pathological conditions.
• The application of machine learning to improve the predictions of fluid dynamics models and their implications in clinical settings.
• Detailed investigations connecting computational findings to molecular biology and molecular imaging, thereby influencing the development of therapeutic strategies and clinical practices.

Contributions should demonstrate a blend of theoretical innovation and practical relevance, aiming to bridge the gap between computational simulations and clinical applications in critical care and beyond.

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. Bioengineering 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 2700 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.
