Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Aerospace covers recent research outcomes concerning aerodynamic structures, including aircraft airfoils/wings, high-lift structures, propeller blades, and compressor/rotor blades. The complex flow physics and aeroacoustics of these configurations pose significant challenges in both experimental and numerical studies, including three-dimensional unsteady flow structures, the combined effect of rotational augmentation and dynamic stall, the physics of leading/trailing-edge noise generation, and the high-accuracy prediction of aerodynamic noise and low-noise designs.
An additional topic of interest in this Special Issue is the interaction between flow and structures. As unmanned aerial vehicles have seen rapid recent development, the interactions between multiple rotors or between rotor and structures have attracted increasing attention. Some essential problems, including the unsteady loading induced by the rotor–wake interaction, the noise induced by the interaction between turbulence and blade, transient noise identification in multiple rotor system, etc., are yet to be investigated. The editors of this Special Issue invite authors to submit papers addressing the challenges in experimental and numerical studies of the aerodynamics and aeroacoustics of unsteady flow problems.

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.
