High-Speed Processes in Continuous Media

Dear Colleagues,

The research of high-speed processes in continuous media includes experimental and numerical studies in the field of designing aircraft, rockets, and landing vehicles, flow/flight control, as well as gas/plasma processes in combustion chambers, nozzles, electrical discharges, lasers, microwave pulses, and many others. Fast processes are characterized by complex shock–vortex interactions and the presence of large gradients of parameters due to the emerging shock waves, areas of shear deformations, and the possible development of various types of instabilities. The development of computer technology makes it possible to model such processes and predict their characteristics for subsequent experiments and technical solutions. High-speed optical diagnostic tools enable the highly accurate visualization of fast processes in various gas/plasma media. This Special Issue of Fluids aims to present the latest achievements in the numerical and experimental studies of high-speed processes in continuous media. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following areas: the supersonic/hypersonic flow of gas and plasma, high-speed flow/flight control, shock waves, boundary layers, turbulence, chemically reacting flows, processes in plasma, combustion and explosion, ignition, vortices and vortex structures, heat flows, gas-dynamic and plasma instabilities, high-fidelity numerical methods, and the visualization of high-speed flows.

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.
