Research on the Formation and Movement of Droplets

Dear Colleagues,

Droplets play a crucial role in various natural and industrial processes, including spray cooling, inkjet printing, fuel atomization, and biomedical applications. Understanding their formation, movement, and interaction with surrounding media is essential for advancing fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer, and interfacial science. This Special Issue aims to bring together recent theoretical, experimental, and numerical studies on droplet formation mechanisms, transport dynamics, coalescence and breakup, phase change phenomena, and interactions with complex surfaces and external fields. Contributions exploring novel techniques for droplet manipulation, emerging applications in microfluidics, and the role of droplets in multiphase flows are particularly encouraged. We invite researchers from various disciplines to submit their latest findings, fostering a comprehensive discussion on the fundamental and applied aspects of droplet physics.

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.
