Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Active flow control (AFC) utilizes local active perturbations to induce global flow-field changes that result in net performance improvement. For decades, it has been a vibrant research area with potential applications in a wide variety of problems of academic and industrial interest. Recent developments in actuation technologies and computational/experimental methods, along with the re-booming of machine learning techniques, have made it possible for AFC to be more efficient, robust, and intelligent. Therefore, we propose this Special Issue to showcase and discuss new advances in AFC, both in fundamentals and in applications. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Design and development of novel actuators for AFC;
- Theoretical/computational/experimental studies on AFC;
- New control strategies on AFC;
- Machine-learning-guided AFC;
- New AFC applications.

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. Actuators 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 2400 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.
