Special Issue Information
This Special Issue is devoted to the mechanisms and applications of Multiphase and Granular Flows in various fields. Multiphase and Granular Flows are the simultaneous flows of materials with two or more thermodynamic phases. They are central to many industries such as processing, energy production, spray cooling, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture, and are also prevalent in many natural phenomena.
The scope of this Special Issue includes all aspects of mass, momentum, and energy exchange phenomena among different phases that occur in disperse flows, including gas–liquid and liquid–liquid flows, flows in porous media, boiling, granular flows, etc. In particular, topics related to atmospheric governance and the spread of respiratory viruses are also welcome.
In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring cutting-edge research and recent advances in the fields of Multiphase and Granular Flows. Both theoretical and experimental studies are welcome, as well as comprehensive review and survey papers.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
