Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fractional order models are becoming more and more popular among engineers when it is essential to capture the real behavior of complex materials such as viscoelasticity, non-local mechanics, thermal and fluid transport, and/or diffusion. In recent literature, such phenomena are often represented mathematically with fractional PDEs. Furthermore, recent advances in three-dimensional fractional viscoelasticity, non-local mechanics, poroelasticity, as well as anomalous diffusion models have attracted the attention of many researchers.
This Special Issue aims to collect recent theoretical perspectives in models based on fractional PDEs, solution of boundary value problems, and application of such models in all fields of science, engineering applications, and other applied fields.

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. Fractal and Fractional 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 2700 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.
