Multiscale Theories, Models and Applications for Engineering Systems

Dear Colleague,

The modeling of a complex engineering system by covering different spatial and temporal scales, from microscopic to macroscopic, is a challenging task. Without a fundamental understanding of the physics and proper modeling techniques, the efforts and computational costs can grow exponentially when trying to solve the problem of simultaneously crossing different scales. Multiscale mathematics and theories can bridge the gaps between different scales and put the modeling on a solid footing. The successful development of new multiscale models always comes with a careful selection of models and theories ,while bearing related physics constraints in mind. The efficiency of information passing and integration is also critical for controlling the computational costs of a multiscale model to provide practical solutions. This Special Issue aims to publish original and novel theories, models and applications related to multiscale and multiphysics problems. Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to, fluid dynamics, materials, meteorology, physics, mathematics, and chemistry. The adoption of multiscale methods to interdisciplinary applications is also encouraged.

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. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
