Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
CFD has become a powerful tool to design and analyze processes in chemical, petrochemical, automotive, power generation, food, and other industries. Continuous improvement of CFD software capabilities and computing power have allowed complex fluid dynamics problems to be solved, e.g., the development of the PSI-Cell technique, and have enabled reliable CFD modeling of transport processes between continuous and dispersed phase. The application of CFD modeling on an industrial scale is still a challenge, as it requires scale inventory analysis and specific measuring equipment to determine the initial and boundary conditions and to verify the CFD model. Each successful application of CFD modeling in industry has a special value that may allow for the improvement of process energy efficiency and scaling up.
This Special Issue on “Computational Fluid Dynamics: Modelling of Industrial Dispersed Systems” aims at providing the recent advances in the applications of computational fluid dynamics in modeling and scaling up of industrial dispersed systems.
Topics include but are not limited to the following:
- CFD fundamentals;
- CFD applications in modeling of two-phase flow;
- CFD applications in modeling of suspensions, emulsions, and foams;
- CFD applications in modeling of agglomeration and coalescence;
- CFD applications in modeling of sprays; fluid and spouted beds; and pneumatic, flash, and mixing systems;
- CFD applications in modeling of air filtering;
- CFD applications in modeling of dust explosion.

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. 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 2400 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.
