Convection in Fluid and Porous Media

Dear Colleagues,

Investigating and understanding of thermal/isothermal and multicomponent-diffusive convective flows in fluids and saturated porous media would enhance the design and performance of a variety of engineering and environmental application processes. Newtonian and non-Newtonian working fluids are commonly encountered in these processes, such as in thermal and chemical industrial processes, slurry transporting, food processing, crystal growth, hydrology, polymer engineering, geophysics, mixtures separation, gas storage and heat exchangers.
This Special Issue is dedicated to research on recent advances in modelling and experimental thermal/isothermal and thermosolutal convective flows in closed or open systems and in external boundary layer flows. Comparisons and validation of modelling results with experimental or past published results are encouraged. For steady or unsteady modelling investigations, time and grid size sensitivity studies are required to assess the fidelity of the modelling methods. Studies toward industrial applications are highly recommended and those related to pure fundamental research with physical analyses are also accepted.

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.
