Boundary Layer Processes in Geophysical/Environmental Flows

Dear Colleagues,

Boundary layer processes play a crucial role in establishing circulation patterns of the oceans and atmosphere, significantly affecting both regional climates and the global climate, as well as the distributions of heat, nutrients, species, pollutants, and more. This Special Issue of Fluids is dedicated to recent advances in the theoretical, numerical, observational (including instrumentation development), and experimental investigation of geophysical/environmental boundary layer processes and how those process may influence regional and global circulation.  Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, air–sea interactions and fluxes (including the influence of sea-ice), western and eastern boundary currents, bottom boundary processes (including complex topography interactions, sediment motion), and internal boundary layers (such as fronts, shear layers, and thermocline processes).

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
