Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the ever-evolving engineering landscape, new challenges must be met, and the combined application of numerical simulations plays a relevant role. High-performance computing and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have the potential to strongly support the investigation of many engineering problems regarding fluid mechanics, transport phenomena, and thermodynamics.

In this context, the principal aim of this Special Issue is to collect the latest research regarding the development and validation of algorithms and computational methodologies of applied computational fluid dynamics and thermodynamics for the numerical simulation of complex engineering problems belonging to the fields of automotive engineering, aeronautics, aerospace, green technology, transportation, engineering design, energetic engineering, hydraulic engineering, etc.

All computational methods are acceptable (finite difference, finite volume, and spectral methods), as are commercial and open-source codes.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.

An interesting series based on Bessel function roots (zeros) is discussed and numerically analyzed. The novel-derived simplified general solutions are based on Lommel polynomials. This kind of series can have a large practical use in many scientific areas, such as solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, electronics, physics, etc. Some practical examples connected with fluid mechanics are provided in this paper. The errors in Afanasiev solutions are corrected. In addition, the main solution for the series analyzed by Baricz and Angel is presented. Full article

This article concerns research on the use of two types of coatings (parylene C and TiO2-ZrO2-Al) in multilayer composites with potential use in metallurgical protective gloves to improve their insulation against contact heat and radiation heat. To evaluate the thermal safety of the glove user, the composites were examined under the conditions of exposure to contact heat (using a heating cylinder, according to EN ISO 12127-1) and radiant heat (using a copper plate calorimeter, according to EN ISO 6942). Moreover, heat transfer through composites exposed to the heat of a hot plate was examined using thermography. The experimental studies were supported by heat transfer simulations through 3D models of composites. The contact heat method showed that composites achieved insulation against contact heat for both contact temperatures Tc, but composites with parylene C have a longer tt of 9 s (for Tc = 100 °C) and 7 s (250 °C) compared to composites with TiO2-ZrO2-Al. The radiant heat method showed that composites achieved the fourth (highest) level of RHTI24 under exposure to a radiant heat flux of 20 kW m−2. The modeling results showed that the parylene C coating increases the thermal barrier of the composite by approximately 10%, while the TiO2-ZrO2-Al coating increases it by 2%. The applied research techniques demonstrated the usefulness of using both types of coatings in the design of metallurgical protective gloves based on multilayer composites. Full article
