Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The European Union has a defined service-orientated architecture for air traffic management of drones in urban areas, called U-space. One of the main obstacles to the massive use of drones in our cities is the generated noise and its impact on health. For these reasons, the topic of noise generated by drones has become dominant in the aeroacoustics scientific community, which is responding with colossal efforts.
This Special Issue will present the state of the art of the aeroacoustics of small-scale rotors and propellers for drone propulsion. Manuscripts are invited covering the full range of noise simulation, from low- to high-fidelity methods, experimental techniques, novel strategies for data post-processing, and methods for noise mitigation. In particular, manuscripts concerning noise and noise sources associated with single propellers, propellers in twin and contra-rotating configuration, wing–propeller or fuselage–propeller interaction, and complete drones are welcome.

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.
