Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The phenomena of various multiphase flows in fluid machinery have attracted increasing attention in recent years due to their common occurrence in various industrial processes, e.g., hydropower stations, chemical engineering, and marine propulsion. Various types of multiphase flows are associated with fluid machinery, i.e., cavitation, gas-liquid mixtures, bubbly flows, and particle flows, and they can usually deteriorate machinery’s performance and affect its stability. Therefore, it is of great importance to clarify the mechanisms of the inception, development, and evolution of multiphase flows inside fluid machinery in order to develop effective techniques for flow control and geometrical optimization. The aim of this Special Issue is to collect the most recent advances in theoretical, experimental, and numerical studies on fluid machinery with multiphase flows, which could be useful for both fundamental research and engineering practice.

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.
