20 Years of Regularized Stokeslets: Applications, Computation, and Theory
This special issue belongs to the section "Mathematical and Computational Fluid Mechanics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Method of Regularized Stokeslets, first introduced in 2001, has had profound and broad impacts on the field of fluid dynamics, particularly at microscopic length scales. This Special Issue of Fluids will highlight current perspectives of the Method of Regularized Stokeslets, its contributions to numerical analysis, and how it is leveraged to investigate applications such as the study of microswimmer locomotion strategies and fluid mixing. We invite submissions ranging from review articles to mathematical analysis, algorithmic advances, and computational issues related to the method of Regularized Stokeslets, as well as studies that utilize these methods to investigate the fluid dynamics of applications at the microscale.

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-anonymized 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.
