Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue welcomes the submission of articles that present recent advances in the field of Fluid Mechanics. This Special Issue will address subsonic and supersonic flows, optimization methodologies, boundary layer evolution and the application of time-dependent aerodynamic forces and active and passive flow control in order to delay/promote boundary layer separation while decreasing the peak to peak amplitude of dynamic forces. Both experimental work and computational simulations are within the scope of this Special Issue, as well as articles that consider optimization and machine learning techniques as these minimize the number of computational simulations while gathering the most appropriate set of parameters in any given application. Finally, papers that consider the application of flow control technology in order to enhance heat transfer or reduce cavitation in water turbines, for example, will be included in this Special Issue.
Researchers are encouraged to submit high-quality and novel papers that will be published after being peer reviewed by specialists in the field.
Dr. Josep Maria Bergadà

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.
