Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Developing adaptive control strategies for synthetic jet actuators (SJAs) that dynamically respond to changing flow conditions is necessary in order to achieve broader applicability. Understanding the flow interaction between the SJAs and the cross-flow is crucial, as this underpins the possibilities for optimizing performance. These adaptive systems can optimize performance across jets, airfoils, and turbomachinery by integrating advanced sensing, machine learning, and real-time control. Key topics for discussion in this Special Issue include leveraging adaptive control frameworks, exploring comprehensive flow data and computer vision for real-time analysis, and ensuring robust, reliable SJA systems.

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.
