Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The simulation and analysis of fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer are fundamental to advancing a wide range of scientific and engineering disciplines. With the continuous development of computational power and sophisticated numerical methods, high-fidelity modeling has become an indispensable tool for understanding complex multi-physics phenomena, optimizing system designs, and innovating processes across fields such as energy systems, environmental engineering, chemical processing, aerospace, and biomedical applications. This Special Issue aims to showcase recent breakthroughs, novel methodologies, and cutting-edge applications in computational modeling. It seeks to bring together research that addresses the challenges of accuracy, efficiency, and scalability in simulations, and explores the integration of simulation with data-driven approaches or experimental validation.
This Special Issue will publish high-quality and original research papers. Topics should preferably be relevant to simulation and analysis of fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer, as well as the following:
- Advances in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) algorithms and high-performance computing
- Multiphase and multicomponent flow simulations
- Convective heat transfer modeling at various scales
- Mass transfer processes coupled with chemical reactions or phase change
- Simulation and modeling of refrigeration and cryogenic systems
- Application of optimization algorithm in engineering
- Artificial-intelligence-driven simulation model

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. 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.
