Cavitating Flows, Volume II

Dear Colleagues,

Cavitation flows are of great interest due to their inherent complexity, their negative effects in many industrial applications and their recently discovered positive effects in fields such as environmental and biomedical engineering. Consequently, it is necessary to advance in the understanding and simulation of cavitation in all its forms in order to be able to control its effects and to profit from them to benefit industry and society in general.

This Special Issue on Cavitating Flows is dedicated to publishing original numerical and experimental research works that increase our basic understanding of cavitation phenomena and its application to engineering problems. More specifically, this Issue intends to collect contributions on any form of cavitation comprising isolated and clusters of bubbles, attached sheets, cloud cavitation, vortex cavitation and supercavitation appearing both in fluid machinery and flow systems.

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.
