Aerothermodynamics and Propulsion of Flight Systems
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This topical collection features the most recent developments in the field of aerothermodynamics and propulsion of flight systems. Aerothermodynamics considers the analysis of flow field characteristics and interactions of the object in flight, encompassing all flow regimes. Propulsion covers all methods of propelling ballistic objects, launchers and space vehicles, including chemical, electric and advanced systems.
We welcome original research papers, reviews, communications, short communications, code release papers, benchmarking studies, educational papers, and opinions. These will include analytical, theoretical, computational and/or experimental studies.

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-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 1200 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.
