Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the basic component unit of impeller blades in fluid machinery such as pumps and fans, airfoils play a crucial role in improving the performance of fluid machinery. Although researchers have carried out a series of airfoil development and optimization design, in some special application scenarios, existing serialized airfoils still cannot meet the design requirements of high-performance fluid machinery. Innovative airfoils still need to be developed to meet the flow control requirements inside the impeller, effectively improve the aerodynamic performance, and reduce the noise of fluid machinery. Inspired by the functional structures of organisms in nature, such as the silent flying long eared owl, the agile hovering emerald bird, the efficiently propelled tuna, and beetles with both bright and dark wings, this brings inspiration to the airfoils design. This Special Issue aims to collect bionic design of airfoils, optimization methods of airfoils, flow control mechanisms of bionic airfoils, the numerical modeling and aerodynamic performance analysis of bionic airfoils, the aerodynamic noise characteristics and prediction of bionic airfoils, bionic airfoils applications in different types of fluid machinery, etc. This Special Issue includes but is not limited to the above scope.

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. Biomimetics 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 2200 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.
