Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Combustion and fluid mechanics form the foundational backbone of energy conversion and propulsion systems, governing the complex interactions between reactive flows, heat transfer, and chemical kinetics across scales. As humanity advances toward sustainable energy goals, next-generation combustion technologies demand precise control over flame dynamics, emission reduction, and system efficiency—challenges that hinge on rigorous analytical modeling, cutting-edge numerical simulations, and well-designed experimental investigations. This Special Issue focuses on the interplay between combustion science and fluid mechanics, showcasing state-of-the-art research that bridges fundamental theory and practical engineering applications. Contributions cover a wide spectrum, from fundamental studies of turbulent reactive flows, flame instabilities, and deflagration-to-detonation transition, to advanced experimental techniques and computational frameworks for optimizing low-emission and high-efficiency combustion systems. By integrating multi-scale analysis, innovative numerical methods, and empirical validation, this collection aims to advance the fundamental understanding of combustion phenomena and accelerate the development of environmentally responsible energy solutions for the future.

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-anonymized 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.
