Innovative Research and Applications in Hydrodynamics and Flow Control, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to collect cutting-edge developments in the area of hydrodynamics and flow control, including both fundamental and engineering research. Hydrodynamics is of great importance in ships, marine engineering, energy, etc. It influences the kinetics and kinematics of ships, underwater vehicles, and marine structures. Flow control techniques can be used to manipulate hydrodynamics for saving energy, high performance, etc. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

1. Design of ships, underwater vehicles, and marine structures;
2. Shape optimization of marine vehicles;
3. Experimental fluid mechanics of marine structures;
4. Computational methods for fluids;
5. Applications of CFD methods;
6. Flow control techniques;
7. Fluid mechanics;
8. Machine learning methods for fluids.

Also, feel free to browse the very interesting papers published in the first Edition "Innovative Research and Applications in Hydrodynamics and 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 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. Inventions is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
