Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Two-phase flows (e.g., gas–gas, gas–liquid, liquid–liquid) are found in many natural phenomena, engineering, and industrial applications. The nonlinear motions of the interface between two phases (two fluids) and its deformations and breaks, phase change, heat transfer, turbulence, shockwaves, and violent interaction with devices/systems become very complicated, both in terms of developing experimental techniques for their measurement and for numerical modeling for the analysis of these two-phase flows. However, the significance of these topics has motivated the recent advances in thermodynamics, experimental measurements, and numerical modeling; these advances have demonstrated and provided a solid understanding of fundamental and physical insights into the two-phase flows in many fields of engineering and industry. These advances are in parallel with highly advanced technologies of high-speed cameras and lighting as well as high-speed computing sources, and therefore resolve the underlying physical processes satisfactorily and support the development of new technologies/treatment protocols.
This Special Issue aims to provide researchers and scientists with the opportunity to present and discuss their original works on new numerical modeling, simulations, and experimental representation of engineering and industrial systems or any other two-phase systems from microscale to larger-scale problems. Submissions of papers related to two-phase flows that not only address fundamental science but also engineering applications are highly encouraged.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
