Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fluid mechanics and heat transfer are two intrinsically related disciplines of great interest for scientific and technological fields. Due to their importance to several applications, scientists and researchers of different backgrounds have a responsibility to advance knowledge in these fields. Significant attention was paid to these topics in the last century from both a fundamental and an applied point of view. Applications in these fields include aerodynamics, hydrology, thermal engineering, meteorology, energy efficiency, oil and gas, and chemical and industrial engineering. Because of the complexity of their governing laws, determining the solutions to some problems may be difficult. For this reason, the appropriate use of numerical analysis and computational tools could be of great value here. Even if technological development stimulates the progress of applied research, there are still important problems regarding their fundamental nature that remain unanswered in the literature, for instance, transitional flows and regimes, turbulence and non-standard heat transfer mechanisms, etc. Computational fluid mechanics and heat transfer, combined with rigorous theoretical basis, are key to solving open fundamental problems and represent the right way to ensure reliable scientific and technological progress.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Natural and mixed convection;
- Double-diffusive convection;
- Porous media flows;
- Transitional flows;
- Bifurcations and instabilities;
- Turbulence;
- Non-Newtonian flows;
- Non-standard heat transfer;
- Viscous heating;
- MHD;
- Multi-phase flows.

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. 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.
