Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Active flow control is a rapidly developing field of fluid mechanics that intends to improve performance in terms of drag reduction, lift increase, mixing enhancement, and noise reduction. Many novel electrohydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic actuators have been proposed for active flow controls. Among them, plasma actuators, laser energy deposition, MHD- and EHD-guided flows, and so on, are techniques that have attracted a lot of attention. The fundamental mechanisms by which these actuators are imposing their effects, the optimization of theses actuators, and novel applications are attractive fields of research. This Special Issue intends to gather novel experimental and modeling research related to these concepts. The contributions can be in the form of critical state-of-the-art reviews, first principles and theoretical framework, numerical modelling, experiments, or benchmark test-cases However, the scope is not limited to only flow actuators, and secondary application of these devices, such as ice control systems, sensory systems, and micro propulsion systems, will also be considered.
Other potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- High speed flow control
- Noise reduction
- Turbulent boundary layer flow control
- Simultaneous flow and ice control
- Micro propulsive systems
- Experimental characterization
- Numerical simulation of flow fields in the presence of actuators for new applications
- Convective heat transfer enhancement
- Oscillatory flow control

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.
