Thermoacoustic Oscillatory Flow Control

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, there has been a great deal of excitement over the emergence of new mathematical techniques for the modeling and analysis of thermoacoustic oscillations that involve fluid flow, heat, and sound interactions. Such oscillations create challenges in the design and manufacture of gas turbines, boilers, furnaces, aircraft engines, and rocket motors. To stabilize thermoacoustic oscillations, a number of active and passive techniques have been proposed in the literature. Active techniques include nonlinear and learning-based control system theory and various design techniques that can be utilized in developing nonlinear robust control algorithms. The design of these systems involves advanced techniques including nonlinear optimization, machine learning, adaptive estimation, nonlinear observer, and control design methodologies. In this context, this Special Issue welcomes submission of papers from a wide range of researchers in applied mathematics and various engineering disciplines.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
