Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multiphase complex fluids are ubiquitous in both natural and synthetic systems, such as emulsions, foams, biological materials, and advanced functional composites. They pose significant modeling, analysis, and computation challenges due to the couplings across multiple physical scales and phases.
This Special Issue of Entropy aims to highlight recent modeling, analysis, and computational developments in the study of multiphase complex fluids. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, continuum, kinetic, and multiscale methods and models for complex fluids; multiphase fluid models such as phase-field models; non-equilibrium thermodynamics; and emerging applications in soft matter and biological systems. Research that leverages entropy-based principles, variational structures, and deep learning techniques to better understand the interplay between microstructure and macroscopic behavior is particularly welcome.

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. Entropy 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.
