Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research and developments in the fields of wind engineering and applied aerodynamics. It will cover a wide range of topics related to the interaction between wind and structures, as well as the application of aerodynamic principles in various engineering disciplines. The scope of this issue includes, but is not limited to, the following:
- Wind load analysis and modeling for wind turbines, buildings, and structures;
- Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of wind flow around structures;
- Experimental studies on wind effects using wind tunnels and field measurements;
- The aerodynamic optimization of wind turbines and other energy-harvesting devices;
- Wind-induced vibration and the aeroelasticity of structures, including bridges and tall buildings;
- Advancements in wind hazard mitigation and risk assessment;
- Innovative designs and materials for improved aerodynamic performance;
- Applications of machine learning and AI in wind engineering and aerodynamics;
- Multi-scale and multi-physics modeling approaches in wind engineering;
- Case studies and practical applications of wind engineering and aerodynamics in real-world projects.
This Special Issue invites submissions of original research articles, review papers, and short communications that contribute to the advancement of knowledge and techniques in wind engineering and applied aerodynamics. Contributions should present novel findings, methodologies, or applications that have the potential to drive future research and innovation in these fields.
By bringing together researchers and practitioners from diverse backgrounds, this Special Issue aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and promote the exchange of ideas, ultimately contributing to the development of more sustainable, resilient, and efficient engineering solutions in the face of evolving wind-related challenges.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
