Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in cardiovascular flow research have significantly expanded our understanding of the complex hemodynamics governing the heart and vascular system across a broad spectrum of physiological and pathological conditions. Progress in multiscale and multiphysics modeling, together with developments in computational analysis, experimental techniques, and medical imaging, has enabled increasingly rigorous investigation of cardiovascular transport phenomena from microscale blood flow interactions to organ-level circulatory behavior. These advances are improving mechanistic understanding, diagnostic assessment, and therapeutic planning for clinically important conditions such as congenital heart disease and congestive heart failure.
In addition to in silico techniques, advances in medical imaging and data acquisition technologies, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Doppler ultrasound, have greatly enhanced our ability to visualize and measure cardiovascular flows in vivo. Complementing these approaches, experimental flow visualization and measurement techniques such as particle image velocimetry (PIV) have provided powerful laboratory-based means to quantify flow fields with high spatial and temporal resolution. Together, these methodologies have enabled researchers to map flow structures, identify pathological flow conditions, validate computational predictions, and assess the hemodynamic performance of cardiovascular devices, including stents, grafts, prosthetic valves, and circulatory support systems.
This Special Issue of Fluids is dedicated to recent advances in cardiovascular flows, with particular emphasis on studies involving uncertainty quantification, data-driven flow analysis, and reduced-order modeling. Original research and review article contributions are encouraged, spanning computational, experimental, and imaging-based investigations of cardiovascular hemodynamics across microscopic and macroscopic scales, under diverse pathological conditions, and in the context of disease modeling, device optimization, and clinically relevant flow assessment.

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.
