Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) process is widely used for different machining processes and materials, and in machining offers products and services for a cleaner production, introducing environmentally friendly and economically beneficial methods. Referring to a near-dry cooling technique, it is composed of a fine oil mist with pressurized air supplied as an air–fluid mixture. In order to improve or reduce cost, the simulation of the MQL process represents a real alternative to the experimental approaches often used in industries.
The process modelization could be useful for understanding physical phenomena which occur during chip formation, such as the fluid/structure interaction or tribological behavior, and could provide an appropriate understanding regarding the thermomechanical behavior present during machining or develop advanced cutting tools by numerically studying the MQL process efficiency.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to assemble original research papers containing novel numerical studies regarding the MQL process used in machining or other manufacturing processes (rolling, stamping, etc.) or used in mechanical characteristics, such as tribology, and their interaction with the surface integrity of the material and tool life time. The proposed papers can include experimental sections with simulations for comparisons.
Please inform the Guest Editor of your intention to submit a manuscript for possible publication in the Special Issue as soon as possible.

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. Dynamics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
