CFD Simulation of Heat Transfer and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Numerical simulation plays an essential complementary role in understanding thermal and fluid dynamics phenomena in nature, and it has vast industrial applications. For decades, CFD simulations have been performed to understand physics, predict flow characteristics in different applications, and avoid expenses associated with the experimental setup. The scientific literature includes various CFD modeling approaches with different assumptions and boundary conditions that have provided countless results. Scientific society is still debating on the degree of the accuracy of these methods. In subsonic turbulent flows, there are three main basic methods: Reynolds Averages Navier–Stokes Simulation (RANS), Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS), and Large Eddy Simulation (LES). In more general cases such as in multiphase flows, these three methods are successfully applied. In this case, the particulate phase is usually taken as in a frame of the Eulerian–Eulerian (EE) or two-fluid approach, where both carrier fluid and particulate phase are considered as continuous phases, or/and in a frame of the Lagrangian–Eulerian (LE) approach, where one can deal with continued fluid phase by applying the Euler approach and the motion of single particles (solid, droplets or bubbles) related to a discrete particulate phase, which is modeled by the Lagrangian approach. So, in this Special Issue, we focus on subsonic single- and multiphase thermo-and fluid dynamics’ applicability, which are frequently met in various industrial performances.

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.
