Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce this Special Issue of the MDPI journal Aerospace devoted to the topic of computational methods for non-equilibrium flow simulation. The ever-growing interest in space exploration requires new and improved non-equilibrium flow simulation capabilities for a wide variety of regimes, including high-enthalpy continuum flows, slip-flow, and rarefied regimes.

This Special Issue is aimed at showcasing the latest developments in the area of development of computational methods of such flows, including but not limited to: higher-order methods for hypersonic flow simulation, computational approaches for modeling of high-enthalpy reacting and ionized flows, moment methods, particle-based transitional and rarefied flow simulation methods, hybrid multi-scale flow simulation methods, new time-integration schemes, and the application of the aforementioned methods to the computation of flows relevant to the aerospace domain.

Dr. Georgii Oblapenko

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. Aerospace 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.
