Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nowadays, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has taken on great relevance in the study, design, and optimization of equipment, which is due to its great ability to simulate and model transport phenomena. CFD and the second law of thermodynamics help us to understand the phenomena involved in different kinds of devices, such as fuel cells, turbines and solar collectors, among others. Several studies have demonstrated the use of CFD and the second law of thermodynamics to improve industrial equipment, and CFD is even used in the field of science, such as in medicine to predict diseases. In other words, CFD is used to create virtual environments to help us improve our understanding of the real world.
This Special Issue, “Advances in Entropy and Computational Fluid Dynamics”, will showcase unpublished original papers focused on the analysis of irreversibility by computational fluid dynamics.

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.
