Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Interfacial mass transfer is a popular phenomenon in everyday life as well as an important process in industry. The examples include evaporation of sea water, reaction in a bubble column reactor, or storage of CO2 in deep saline aquifers. Interfacial mass transfer often occurs in an extremely thin boundary layer of species concentration due to the high Schmidt numbers of most species. It is often coupled with multiphase flows, turbulence, and chemical reaction. Their effects on the boundary layer of species concentration are still not fully understood. As a result, it is difficult to predict the interfacial mass transfer rate accurately. Intensive experimental and numerical studies of interfacial mass transfer have been carried out in recent years. We propose this special issue to provide the researchers a platform to publish their novel studies in this field. Through this work, we expect the understanding of interfacial mass transfer can be further enhanced.
The theme of this special issue broadly includes (but is not limited to):
- New experimental methods for measuring interfacial mass transfer rate;
- New numerical methods and multiphase models for calculating interfacial mass transfer;
- Interfacial mass transfer of bubbles;
- Evaporation or combustion of liquid droplets;
- Convection induced by interfacial mass transfer;
- Interfacial mass transfer in canopy flows and atmospheric flows;
- Novel methods for enhancing interfacial mass transfer;
- Theoretical analysis of interfacial mass transfer;
- Correlations for the Sherwood number.

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. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
