Computational Fluid Dynamics: Applications with Nanofluids

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the latest advancements in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) as applied to the study of nanofluids, with a particular emphasis on novel approaches and models. As nanofluids continue to show great potential in heat transfer and energy applications, accurate and efficient CFD models are critical for understanding their behavior. This Issue highlights new computational strategies, including multi-scale and hybrid methods, to address the complexities introduced by nanoparticles in fluid systems.

Two-phase models, which treat nanofluids as a mixture of solid nanoparticles and base fluids, are of particular interest. These models provide enhanced insight into particle–fluid interactions, sedimentation, and thermal conductivity improvements. We also explore the benchmark problems that have helped to validate these approaches and form comparisons across the different methodologies. Submissions will address the challenges of model accuracy, computational efficiency, and physical realism, aiming to push the boundaries of current nanofluid research.

One of the aims is that this collection will serve as a valuable resource for researchers and engineers seeking innovative CFD techniques to better understand the transport properties of nanofluids, thereby inspiring future developments in this rapidly evolving field.

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.
