Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since its early development in the first half of the last century, the classical theory of unsteady aerodynamics has served the community quite well in studying the flow dynamics over oscillating airfoils and rotary wings, the flutter problem of airplane wings and wind turbine blades, and bio-inspired flight. However, this linear theory has a limited region of applicability confined to inviscid, incompressible, and small angle-of-attack applications. Over the past two decades, the community’s interest in unsteady aerodynamics has been rejuvenated. This research flurry is partly to extend the classical theory to account for viscous, compressible, or high alpha effects, and partly to deepen our understanding of the unconventional flow dynamics in interesting applications such as bio-inspired flight.
This Special Issue aims to present some of the recent advances in the modeling and analysis of unsteady fluid flows. Topics include theoretical modeling of unsteady aerodynamics, high-alpha unsteady aerodynamics, bio-inspired flight, unsteady flow control, data-driven (e.g., machine learning) modeling of unsteady fluid dynamics, reduced-order modeling, and the recent techniques of principal component analysis (PCA); e.g., the dynamic mode decomposition (DMD).

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.
