Methods and Numerical Applications in Fluid Mechanics

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to cover ongoing advances in numerical and computational methods for fluid mechanics. This broad goal encloses not only the development of standard numerical schemes for the integration of the Navier Stokes equations, but also state-of-the-art Lattice Boltzmann or the difficulties and progress in the application of high-order schemes to more realistic industrial configurations, in particular the implementation of prevailing methods in present and future computational platforms, with an eye on exascale computing.

Moreover, the huge amount of data generated by numerical tools needs further postprocessing: data assimilation methods or data mining, and flow sensitivity, linked to stability and eventually optimization and control, can provide very valuable information about flow. Several algorithms, such as DMD, POD, and SPOD, can obtain very important information that can help to identify relevant features, which is critical to understand the flow behaviour, and eventually can provide information about how to control it.  

Besides those topics, this Issue is open to any contribution that could improve the application of numerical methods to understand and solve fluid dynamics problems.

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. Energies 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 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.
