Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Water is the most familiar fluid, and its flow mechanics has been investigated since ancient Greece.
Water is classified as a Newtonian fluid, and the Navier–Stokes equation has been recognized, under a great deal of verification, as the fundamental equation to describe the mechanics of water. Recently, however, several experimental results show that the mechanics of water is not always expressed by the Navier–Stokes equation especially for flows through micro-orifices. For example, huge reduction in pressure is necessary to let water out of micro-orifices, zero reaction of water jets issuing from micro-orifices, or organic synthesis in and around micro-orifices through which water flows. These anomalies suggest a new aspect of mechanics of water beyond the Navier–Stokes equation.
The current Special Issue calls for papers concerning new insights into micro-orifice/micro-channel flows.

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. ChemEngineering 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 1600 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.
