Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last few decades, physical and numerical modeling has proven to be an important part in understanding some of the phenomena in the harsh, high-temperature environment associated with process metallurgy. There are still many issues remaining that have not yet been answered. In general, the development of Computational Fluid Dynamics allows for very accurate predictions of single phase flows. Unfortunately, most–if not all–of the processes associated with metal production are multi-phase. Furthermore, there are huge variations in time and spatial scales and the high temperature reactions constantly change the physical properties of the phases under consideration. With ever increasing economic and environmental demands on the production and simultaneously decreasing costs of computational resources, the part numerical modeling can play seems stronger than ever. On this note, I hereby invite you to submit your papers on physical and numerical modeling in process metallurgy.
Best Regards
Prof. Dr. Mikael Ersson

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. Materials 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 2600 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.
