Special Issue Information
Heat and mass transfer, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics are important for elucidating most chemical and physical processes. This is no exception for emerging processes in biomaterials, biomimetics, bio-inspired engineering, and biology-related technologies.To control and optimize these novel processes, we need to understand the momentum and heat and mass transfer of the specific processes. Although some conventional results for large-scale inorganic materials in the chemical and physical processes can be applicable, these results are limited. Thus, many studies concerning the development of experimental methods, measurements, theories, and numerical simulations have been conducted in various research fields.
This Special Issue on bio-thermofluid dynamics aims to provide a platform to exchange novel advances in these studies and accelerate each study on biomaterials, biomimetics, bio-inspired engineering, and biology-related technologies. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Freezing/thawing behavior of cells and tissues;
- Characterization of cell damage caused by high temperatures;
- Process design and device design for cryosurgery and hyperthermia;
- Design of thermosensitive polymer-based functional materials;
- Design of anti-freezing/anti-frosting surfaces;
- Drag reduction by using agar gel and polysaccharides; and
- Drag reduction in fish, dolphins, and whales.

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 papers will be 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. Processes 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 2000 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.
