Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cooling and lubricating are important in many industries, especially in transportation and energy production, where due high-speed, high-power, and high-efficiency engines and turbines, and higher thermal loads require more advanced applications in cooling and lubrication. To control the heat dissipation nanofluids are often used where nanosized particles in low volumetric fractions are added to a fluid in order to improve the rheological, mechanical, optical, and thermal properties. Since the ability to manage transport properties leads to greater energy efficiency, smaller and lighter thermal systems, lower operating costs, and a cleaner environment, nanofluid research could lead to a major breakthrough in numerous engineering applications, such as coolants for automobiles, supercomputers, energy productions, and deep oil and gas recovery. This Special Issue addresses the recent advances in fundamental understanding of the physics of nanofluids, especially the flow and heat transfer in industrial applications. Both experimental and theoretical studies are welcomed.

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.
