Turbulent Flow, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Turbulent flows are ubiquitous in both nature and in technological applications, as well as in everyday life. In the transport sector, for example, a large amount of energy spent on overcoming the resistance created by turbulence. Despite tremendous efforts, many features of turbulence are still not completely understood. Nevertheless, various control methods are under development that could provide a leap towards a greener transport sector. The advances of computational resources have enabled direct numerical simulations as a means to investigate turbulent flows, although confined to relatively low Reynolds numbers, which is a severe limitation when considering applications in the transport sector. On the other hand, the detailed flow analysis which is possible with numerical simulations provides insights previously undetected by experimental studies. Hence, the combination of computational and experimental investigations is more important than ever. The goal of this Special Issue is to be a forum for recent developments in theory, experiments, and computations on turbulent flows, with a special focus on flow control aiming at more environment-friendly transport systems. In addition, turbulent flows in nature are of interest since they provide many opportunities for biomimetic technological advancements.

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.
