  • Artificial intelligence in fluid mechanics;
  • Biofluid mechanics;
  • Coherent vortical structures in fluids;
  • Marine hydrodynamics;
  • Multiphase flows;
  • Shock waves;
  • Turbulence modelling and simulation;
  • Wind-turbine aerodynamics;
  • Stability theory in fluid mechanics;
  • Geophysical fluid dynamics;
  • Granular/suspension flows;
  • Heat and mass transfer;
  • Magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD);
  • Nanofluids and microfluids;
  • Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids;
  • Polymers;
  • Rheology;

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.

Numerical simulations provide unfettered access to details of the flow where experimental measurements are difficult to obtain. This paper summarises the progress achieved in the study of passive scalars in flows over rough surfaces thanks to recent numerical simulations. Townsend’s similarity applies to various scalar statistics, implying the differences due to roughness are limited to the roughness sublayer (RSL). The scalar field exhibits a diffusive sublayer that increasingly conforms to the roughness surface as ks+ or Pr increase. The scalar wall flux is enhanced on the windward slopes of the roughness, where the analogy between momentum and scalar holds well; the momentum and scalar fields, however, have very different behaviours downwind of the roughness elements, due to recirculation, which reduces the scalar wall flux. Roughness causes breakdown of the Reynolds analogy: any increase in St is accompanied by a larger increase in cf. A flattening trend for the scalar roughness function, ΔΘ+, is observed as ks+ increases, suggesting the possibility of a scalar fully rough regime, different from the velocity one. The form-induced (FI) production of scalar fluctuations becomes dominant inside the RSL and is significantly different from the FI production of turbulent kinetic energy, resulting in notable differences between the scalar and velocity fluctuations. Several key questions remain open, in particular regarding the existence of a fully rough scalar regime and its characteristics. With the increase in Re and Pr, various quantities such as scalar roughness function, the dispersive fluxes, FI wall flux, etc., appear to trend towards saturation. However, the limited range of Re and Pr achieved by numerical simulations only allows us to speculate regarding such asymptotic behaviour. Beyond extending the range of Re and Pr, systematic coverage of different roughness types and topologies is needed, as the scalar appears to remain sensitive to the geometrical details. Full article

Creating time-marching unsteady governing equations for a steady state in high-speed flows is not a trivial task. Residue convergence in time cannot be achieved when using most low- and high-order spatial discretization schemes. Recently, high-order, weighted, essentially non-oscillatory schemes have been specially designed for steady-state simulations. They have been shown to be capable of achieving machine precision residues when simulating the Euler equations under canonical coordinates. In the present work, we review these schemes and show that they can also achieve machine residues when simulating the Navier–Stokes equations under generalized coordinates. This is carried out by considering three supersonic flows of perfect fluids, namely the flow upstream a cylinder, the flow over a blunt wedge, and the flow over a compression ramp. Full article
