Instability and Transition of Compressible Flows
This special issue belongs to the section "Aeronautics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, the stability and transition of compressible flows receives extensive attention due to its significance in understanding the aerodynamics of aircrafts. State-of-the-art approaches have been increasingly developing in theoretical, computational, and experimental aspects. New physics and insights have been identified in recent years regarding the regime of compressible flows. For this Special Issue of Aerospace, we invite review and research articles on the following topics:
- Stability and/or laminar–turbulent transition of the compressible boundary layer;
- Stability and/or laminar–turbulent transition of shock wave/boundary layer interaction;
- Stability and/or laminar–turbulent transition of shear layer and interfacial flow;
- Stability and/or laminar–turbulent transition of non-ideal flow;
- Stability and/or laminar–turbulent transition of the rarefied gas;
- Theoretical, computational, or experimental methods regarding compressible flow stability and/or transition;
- Aerodynamic performance considering flow stability and/or transition around vehicles;
- Transition modeling;
- All other research related to stability and/or transition of compressible flows.
We look forward to your submissions.

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-anonymized 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.
