Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Interfacial instabilities play a major role in a broad set of phenomena, ranging from natural ones, such as patterns of bacterial colonies or fractal shapes of retinal vessels, to industrial processes, e.g., enhanced oil recovery, CO2 sequestration, and electrodeposition of metals. Since the seminal work of Saffman and Taylor, interfacial instabilities in Hele-Shaw flows have received a great deal of attention and have become a well-known paradigm of interfacial pattern formation.
In this Special Issue of Fluids, “Interfacial Instabilities in Hele-Shaw Flows”, papers are invited on theoretical, experimental, and computational studies devoted (but not limited) to the topics of pattern formation in non-Newtonian, miscible, reactive, or magnetic fluids; three-phase flows; flows driven by the application of magnetic and electric fields; nonstandard Hele-Shaw cell configurations. In addition, studies concerning novel and original ideas to control the emergence of instabilities, i.e., to suppress or enhance them deliberately, are particularly welcome.

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.
