Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aero-engines operate across wide flight envelopes and increasingly stringent constraints on efficiency, emissions, noise, operability, and durability. Meeting these targets requires a deeper understanding and improved prediction of the coupled flow physics that govern the full engine flowpath, ranging from inlet/engine integration and turbomachinery internal aerodynamics to combustion, secondary flows, heat transfer, and exhaust/nozzle aerodynamics. Progress is being driven by advances in high-fidelity CFD and reduced-order modeling, improved turbulence, combustion interaction closures, unsteady and multi-physics simulations, modern experimental diagnostics, and data-driven methods for design and uncertainty quantification.
This Special Issue, entitled “Advances in Aero-Engine Aerodynamics and Flow Physics,” invites original research and review papers that address the fundamental mechanisms, modeling, simulation, and experimental characterization of aero-engine flows. Contributions are welcome on subsonic to high-speed applications, including intake/inlet flows, compressor and turbine aerodynamics, combustor flow–flame interactions, cooling and thermal management, and nozzle/exhaust plume dynamics. Studies focusing on performance, stability/operability, aeroacoustics, loss mechanisms, and flow control, along with validated numerical and experimental methodologies, are particularly encouraged.
We invite researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government agencies to contribute their latest findings and join us in advancing the frontiers of aero-engines. Research in related areas is also welcome, as it contributes to the overarching goal of this Special Issue. We encourage submissions that address these topics and other related areas to provide a broad perspective on the current state of the art and future directions for aero-engines.

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.
