Shock-Dominated Flow

Dear Colleagues,

The shock-dominated flow is frequently encountered in high-speed aircraft and engines, and its flow characteristics directly determine the aerodynamic performance of the aircraft and engines. Due to the strong discontinuity and pressurization property of shock waves, the shock-dominant flow exhibits strong non-linearity, strong inviscid/viscous interaction, and significant historical effects, making it difficult to predict the related flow structures and behaviors. With the development of aircraft towards higher speeds, better performance, and more intelligent control, the shock-dominated flow is a key scientific issue, involving complex high-speed aerodynamics, flow stability, fluid/ thermal structure/acoustic multi-fields interaction, flow control, and artificial intelligence. For this reason, this Special Issue focuses on the shock/boundary layer interaction, shock/shock interaction, shock/vortex interaction, shock oscillation, shock-dominated flow in high-speed aircraft/engines, CFD and experimental methods in shock-dominated, shock aerodynamic heating and cooling, shock/thermal structure interaction, etc.

The editor of this Special Issue invites authors to submit papers on addressing the challenges in the shock-dominated flow of various aerospace occasions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
