Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Airfoil performance degradation due to hazard atmospheric conditions such as heavy rain or icing need of further investigation. The extremely complex physics of the droplet dynamics in the vicinity of airfoils which involves droplet deformation or even aerobreakup prior to impact, collection efficiency, splashing or ice accretion can cause severe degradation of the airfoil performances. In order to adequately predict the degradation, which is necessary for prevention purposes, the knowledge regarding these complex phenomena is of vital importance to improve/obtain models with the required accuracy. In this context, this Special Issue is dedicated to both fundamental and applied studies of the droplet impact on airfoil performance and related physics comprising experimental, theoretical and numerical research.

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.
