Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is inspired by the broad interests in Experimental and Numerical simulation research activities to enable the high-speed flights (supersonic and hypersonic range) by ground testing and translating the outcomes to the flight testing among the aerospace community.
Despite a long history of research and development to enable high-speed flights, which are identified in numerous publications, many fundamental and engineering aspects for translating the ground testing (experiments and numerical simulations) to high-speed flight are still underexplored and related knowledge has not been transferred to the technical implementation yet. The research for high-speed flows (supersonic and hypersonic) are challenging due to limited test time in ground testing facilities, complex nature of flow physics in theoretical and numerical modelling and there is huge gap in further translating the outcomes of ground testing to flight testing. This Special Issue is targeting current fundamental research efforts related to high-speed flights in a broad range of topics for emerging aerospace applications.
Manuscripts are solicited describing experimental, computational, and/or theoretical research related to supersonic/hypersonic flows along with high-speed propulsion with focus on next steps to enable high-speed flights. Publications related to a specific application are relevant to this Special Issue’s scope as well. Submissions may also include ongoing project reports and studies addressing problems in other fields, such as advanced propulsion, energy, or the environment. Topics include but are not limited to:
- Compressible aerodynamics, aerodynamic design;
- Shock waves and shock waves–boundary layer interaction;
- Numerical simulations of Subsonic/Supersonic turbulent reacting flows, Turbulence Modelling;
- Re-entry, entry to planetary atmosphere;
- High-speed Active / Passive Flow controls;
- Ramjet/scramjet Design, Flame stability, combustion efficiency;
- Ground test facilities, flight experiments;
- Advanced Measurements and Non-intrusive Diagnostics;
- Green Propellants;
- Rarefied Flows;
- Advanced Propulsion to enable high-speed flights and space access.

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.
