Convective Flows and Heat Transfer

Dear Colleagues,

Convective heat transfer is involved not only in many industrial applications but also in multiple scientific problems of a fundamental nature. Convective heat transfer within multi-constituent fluids generally leads to convective mass transfer, coupled eventually with heat transfer.

This Special Issue is dedicated to recent scientific contributions and theoretical (hydrodynamic stability), numerical (F.E., F.V, and spectral method), and experimental advances in the field of anisothermal fluid flow and convective heat and mass transfers.

In this regard, this Special Issue of Fluids on ‘Convective Flows and Heat Transfer’ provides an overview of the current integration of research on fundamental and applied aspects of energy and materials. This edition follows previous issues and captures some of the recent advancements in convective heat transfer within multi-component fluids, which often involves coupled convective mass and heat transfer. Additionally, it serves as a platform to address selected multidisciplinary challenges and aims to answer open questions at the intersection of various disciplines. Such convective transfer is the key parameter in most material processes and has become central in the recent developments in energy production, storage, and transformation. Indoor/outdoor Air quality, environment, and building energy-reducing demand are the other important applications.

Additionally, this Special Issue will also publish selected papers from the 2024 International Conference on Materials and Energy (ICOME2024, https://www.icome2024.com/), held from October 30 to November 1, 2024, in Bangkok, Thailand.

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-anonymized 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.
