The Possibilities and Limits of Computational Fluid Dynamics

Dear Colleagues,

Computational fluid dynamics (CFDs) have been used for a wide range of applications, such as hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, water entry, water exit, multiphase flow, cavitating flow, turbulent flow, and fluid–solid interaction. However, there are still some challenges with regards to the complexity of physical problems, calculation accuracy, solution efficiency, etc. These challenges need to be addressed in order to provide a deeper understanding of physical problems. Hence, this Special Issue aims to cover novel, high-efficiency, high-precision, and appropriate CFD methods for the prediction and analysis surrounding the fluid dynamics problem in a variety of applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Computational fluid dynamics methods for hydrodynamics;
• Computational fluid dynamics methods for aerodynamics;
• Computational fluid dynamics methods for water entry;
• Computational fluid dynamics methods for water exit;
• Computational fluid dynamics methods for multiphase flow;
• Computational fluid dynamics methods for cavitating flow;
• Computational fluid dynamics methods for turbulent flow;
• Computational fluid dynamics methods for fluid-solid interaction.

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.
