Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flow instability is an important research topic in the fields of aerospace, nuclear, and mechanical engineering and unstable flow behavior can affect system performance and cause cooling degradation, overheating with possible meltdown, mechanical vibration, pressure pulsations, and reduced system efficiency. Advanced numerical simulation and experimental methods are important means to study the onset of flow instability and the causes of unstable flow behavior. Recently, there have been a number of works on supercritical flow stability using experimental methods, advanced numerical simulation, and linear stability methods. Yet, their success has been varied and inconsistent, pointing to the need for continued research. Nevertheless, numerical simulation and experimentation remain important as they allow us to learn more about how to reduce the onset of unstable flow behavior and eliminate it altogether.
This Special Issue on “Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Flow Instability” seeks high-quality research works focusing on numerical simulation and experimental methods. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Flow instability phenomena;
- Single-channel and parallel-channel experiments;
- The effects of heating structures;
- Heat transfer and deteriorated heat transfer;
- Linear and nonlinear solutions.

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.
