Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The mathematical and computational modelling of fluid flow dynamics is a powerful approach for analysing and predicting fluid behaviour. This area of research is both active and essential, with broad applications across scientific and engineering disciplines. It plays a pivotal role in fields such as aerospace, automotive, chemical and biochemical engineering, healthcare, and climate science.
Mathematical modelling involves creating abstract representations of phenomena using mathematical concepts like equations, for example, differential equations, statistical distributions, or algebraic relationships. These models capture the essential structures and behaviour of fluid dynamics.
Computational modelling builds on mathematical foundations to solve mathematical representations, especially when analytical solutions are infeasible due to complexity, scale, or dynamic interactions and simulate fluid dynamics on computers. It translates mathematical equations into numerical approximations executed by software through iterative calculations and visualization.
This Special Issue seeks high-quality research contributions in the following areas:
- Mathematical modelling of fluid flow;
- Computational fluid dynamics (CFD);
- Computational and numerical methods for fluid flow modelling;
- Mesh generation and adaptive techniques;
- Meshless methods for fluid flow simulation.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions.

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. 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.
