Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many industries are dealing with complex fluids, and academic research can help to provide a better understanding of these complex systems. Many sectors are affected by the lack of understanding of the complex beahaviour of those fluids. Moreover, there is also a lack of technologies which can provide in/online information about those fluids. Understanding the macro- or microstructure of this products and how those are affected by process conditions is critical to achieve better and greener products. This is relevant for many industrial sectors, such as chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, FMCG, food, and many others.
This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in experimental characterisation and modelling of fluid flow and other sensor technology to identify critical features of complex fluids. Topics of interest for the Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Mixing of non-Newtonian fluids;
- Formulation engineering;
- Off/inline rheology of complex fluids;
- Manufacturing of complex fluids;
- Turbulent/laminar/transitional flow.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
