Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Innovations in multiphase flow research are increasingly driven by the rapid development of advanced sensing technologies, data-driven modeling, and digital-twin frameworks. This Special Issue aims to highlight emerging methodologies that integrate high-resolution multiphase-flow measurement, artificial intelligence, and digital-twin techniques to improve the prediction, monitoring, and control of complex multiphase systems. Particular emphasis will be placed on innovations that link experimental data with simulation-assisted or AI-enhanced analysis, including flow-field reconstruction, bubble/droplet dynamics quantification, interfacial transport characterization, and hybrid CFD–ML modeling strategies.
In addition, contributions that support the foundations of this theme—such as advances in multiphase-flow diagnostics, data assimilation, uncertainty quantification, reduced-order modeling, and real-time monitoring technologies—are strongly encouraged. Applications may cover gas–solid fluidization, reactive and thermal multiphase processes, particle-laden flows, and process-intensification systems in energy, chemical, and environmental engineering.
By focusing on the integration of measurement innovation, AI-assisted modeling, and digital-twin development, this Special Issue seeks to provide a cohesive platform for next-generation multiphase-flow research and promote new interdisciplinary insights into the design and optimization of complex flow systems.

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.
