Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The developments in computational power and resources over the past few decades has led to widespread adoption of numerical simulation of turbulent flows. Due to the relatively large number of grid points needed to capture all eddies up to the Kolmogorov scale, the direct numerical simulation (DNS) of large Reynolds number flows is currently restricted to small geometries. While using coarser grids in large eddy simulation (LES), we must come up with an adequate method for modelling in order to describe dissipation. Therefore, resolved-LES is still not the best option for flows near walls. Wall-modelled LES (WMLES) is an alternative method, modelling the near-wall area with Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) and resolving the outer region with LES. This Special Issue aims to demonstrate recent advances in wall-modelled LES and in any other approaches that address turbulence simulation of wall-bounded flows with reasonable computational resources. Manuscripts covering the range of "hybrid" models, "wall-stress models (WSM)," and other cutting-edge approaches are encouraged.

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.
