Advanced Aerodynamic Design and Flow Control in Turbomachinery

Dear Colleagues,

Highly efficient aerodynamic designs and flow control methodologies have played very significant roles in performance improvements in turbomachines. These advancements not only contribute to enhancing the overall efficiency and operational stability of turbomachinery systems but also help in reducing energy consumption and minimizing environmental impact. With the increasing demand for sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions, the importance of aerodynamic optimization has become more prominent than ever. As part of this Special Issue, cutting-edge research pertaining to advanced aerodynamic designs and flow control approaches, together with related engineering applications, is most welcome. Both theoretical and experimental investigations are within the scope of this Special Issue, in addition to comprehensive reviews and survey papers. We welcome original research articles, case studies, and comprehensive reviews that cover, but are not limited to, the following:

• Aerodynamic optimization techniques
• Boundary layer and separation control
• Flow instability and transition mechanisms
• Computational and experimental flow analysis
• Multi-disciplinary design approaches (e.g., aero-thermal and aero-structural)
• Novel concepts in turbomachinery blade and stage design
• The application of machine learning or AI in aerodynamic design

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-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.
