Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Numerical Methods and Applications in Fluid Mechanics”, invites original research articles and reviews that advance the computational modeling and simulation of fluid flows across a broad spectrum of scientific and engineering domains. We welcome contributions that explore innovative numerical techniques, including finite-volume, finite-element, spectral, and mesh-free methods, as well as hybrid and adaptive schemes tailored to complex fluid dynamics problems.
Submissions may address laminar and turbulent flows, multiphase and multicomponent systems, compressible and incompressible regimes, and fluid–structure interactions. We particularly encourage studies that demonstrate the application of numerical methods to real-world challenges in aerospace, automotive, energy, biomedical, environmental, and industrial processes.
Algorithmic developments, validation against experimental or benchmark data, and performance assessments on modern computing architectures are welcome. Contributions that integrate machine learning, uncertainty quantification, or optimization into fluid simulations are also highly encouraged.
This Issue aims to showcase the evolving landscape of computational fluid mechanics and foster cross-disciplinary dialogue between method developers and application specialists. All submissions will undergo rigorous peer review to ensure high scientific quality and relevance. We look forward to receiving your work and building a collection that reflects the state of the art in numerical fluid mechanics.
Dr. Francisco José de Souza

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. Mathematics 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.
