Fluid Flows Modelling in Microfluidic Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Microfluidics enables unprecedented precision and control of critical processes such as mixing, pumping, sensing, chemical and biochemical reactions, etc., in microscales. This, in turn, provides unique advantages in handling fluidic processes, and can significantly reduce the complexity of the system and its operational costs. Despite great developments in this area, the underlying physical mechanisms are still not fully understood. This is partly because some of the key controlling processes occur in such scales that are not fully accessible, experimentally.

This Special Issue aims at addressing this issue by gathering and publishing the best practice and the state-of-the-art in Fluid Flows Modelling in Microfluidic Systems. The Fluid Flows Modelling in Microfluidic Systems is a place to publish both numerical and experimental studies in fluid systems associated with fluidic devices.

Suitable topics for this Special Issue are as follows, but are not limited to:

• Mathematical models
• Computational Fluid dynamics
• Nonnewotinian fluids in fluidic devices
• Two-phase flow in fluidic devices
• Micro and nanobubble dynamics
• Acustofluidics
• Heat and mass transfer in microfluidic systems
• Micro and nanodroplets dynamics
• Breakup and coalescence in fluidics
• Continuous microreactors
• Discrete microreactors
• Surface treatments
• Interface dynamics and contact

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.
