Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fluidic oscillators are devices that create a pulsating or sweeping motion of a fluid solely based on their internal dynamics without the use of any moving parts. A significant amount of research was conducted on these devices after their discovery in the 1950ies. However, only few industrial or commercial applications were realized and the research on fluidic oscillators had subsided. Over the last two decades, fluidic oscillators have gain renewed interest through their use as active flow control devices. This work has sparked a broader interest to develop novel devices and explore innovative applications. The goal of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art as well as to capture novel devices and applications.

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. 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.
