Fluid Structure Interaction: Methods and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Fluid–structure interaction (FSI) is ubiquitous in engineering applications and in natural systems. Nevertheless, the methods, governing parameters, and scaling laws for different applications are still underdeveloped. The numerical methods for FSI suffer from numerical instability, time step restriction, parallel scalability issues, and high computational costs, among others. Novel experimental approaches for FSI measurements are needed for multidisciplinary applications across a range of spatio-temporal scales. This Special Issue of Fluids is dedicated to recent advances in numerical or experimental methods for FSI, comparisons of different FSI techniques, and the applications that shed light on the FSI governing parameters and scaling laws.

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.
