Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Almost all physical phenomena invariably involve fluid flow, an important feature of which is vorticity and its interaction with heat transfer and/or mass transport. The complexities of such flows in terms of turbulence manifestation and surface roughness conditions impose significant challenges when it comes to studying them. This Special Issue aims to cover the most recent advances in vortex dynamics from theoretical, experimental, and numerical perspectives, which could have useful applications in a wide range of engineering and scientific fields. Consequently, we welcome submissions on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
(1) Boundary layer with roughness surface effect;
(2) Flow-induced vibrations (FIVs);
(3) Heat–vortex interaction;
(4) Particulate flows;
(5) RANS/LES/DNS simulations of incompressible flows;
(6) The rigorous validation of experimental methods;
(7) Turbomachinery;
(8) Vortex 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 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. Fluids 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 1800 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.
