Movements in Electromagnetically Agitated Liquid Metal

Dear Colleagues,

Characteristics of metals, as well as their advantageous applications, increase in step with better alloys and manufacturing processes. Up to now, progress very much depended on a trial-and-error strategy dictated, in part, by limitations in mechanistic understanding and in-situ diagnostics, in particular, for metals in their liquid state. Continually, older methods are improved, and new ones become available to look inside liquid metals and, especially, influence and monitor inside movements. This applies, e.g., to solid or gaseous inclusions, solidification fronts and mixing in general. “Nothing is more practical than a good theory” applies also here: progress in diagnostics and progress with increasingly more detailed simulations are mutually promoting each other, leading to optimized processes for a plethora of applications, which are the main focus of this Special Issue.

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.
