Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
The study of gas flow at the micro/nano scale or at very low pressure has assisted engineers in developing a diverse range of technologies, from gas detector devices to vacuum pump. This special issue “Recent Advances in Microfluidics and Vacuum Dynamics” aims to report current knowledge, and illuminate the future of fluid flows at the micro/nano scale or at vacuum. We would appreciate if you could contribute to this special topic by submitting your latest work in this area.
Potential topics will include, but are not limited to:
- Continuum-based simulation of micro/nano scale flows
- Fluid-surface interaction, including Knudsen layer.
- Heat transfer at small scale.
- Molecular simulations (MD-DSMC) at micro and nanoscales
- Gas experimental micro and nano flows
- Vacuum.
- Porous Media Flows
- Gas kinetic theory (Kernel, Mixture, Polyatomic gas…)

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
