Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The heart and broad-branched vessel system contains blood, the primary objective of which is to transport substances to and from tissues, prevent fluid loss, and defend the body, constituting the circulatory system. Investigating and understanding the dynamics of blood flow (hemodynamics) and the fluid flow phenomena integral to related biological flows can improve the design and performance of cardiovascular prosthetic devices and the treatment of cardiovascular disease.

This Special Issue will focus on the latest advances made to understand the physics of blood flow through analytical, experimental, and computational studies of hemodynamics. Submissions containing recent advances in hemolysis, both cell-level and molecular-level treatments of hemodynamics, as well as computations of fluid–structure interactions, are welcome. Both fundamental and applied research, such as medical devices with hemodynamics critical to the design process, can be included in manuscripts. Moreover, manuscripts focusing on other biological flow dynamics are also encouraged.

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.
