Recent Advances in Aerodynamics and Acoustics

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, there have been significant advances in our ability to understand and predict the aerodynamics and acoustics of aircraft and related systems. However, it remains challenging to design new aircraft that meet the current and emerging ambitions in terms of efficiency, emission, and noise targets. State-of-the-art computational and experimental methods make it possible to discover new knowledge of the underlying physics and enable engineers to develop improved aerodynamic and acoustic technologies for aircraft. The recent surge in global demand is motivating researchers to create more efficient aerodynamics in multiple areas such as aerodynamic design—analysis, methodologies, optimization, uncertainty, simulation, and testing; configuration aerodynamics; subsonic, transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic flight regimes; rotorcraft, propeller, and wind turbines; and flow control applications. Similarly, active areas of research in acoustics are noise generation, propagation, and control; the effects of acoustics on fluid flow and structures; and theoretical, computational, and experimental methods for acoustics.

This Special Issue will bring together original research, state-of-the-art overviews of current investigations, and applications on aerodynamics and acoustics.

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. Fluids 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 1800 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.
