Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development in computer computing and storage capabilities in the past few decades, the application of numerical methods to scientific research and engineering projects has been one of the most important tools for solving complex physical systems. The numerical method is now one of the most scientific methods successfully applied to heat and mass transfer in single- and multi-phase flow systems.
This Special Issue focuses on the topics of multiphase flow heat and mass transfer through the development of the numerical methods or the application of existing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools to solve existing problems in academic or industrial applications. Research or review papers focused on the following topics are welcome, but not limited to: (a) the application of CFD tools (e.g., finite difference, finite volume, finite element, lattice Boltzmann method, gas kinetic scheme, and smoothed hydrodynamics particle method); (b) the new development of the CFD method; (c) mathematical modeling of multiphase fluid dynamics; (d) fluid–solid interactions; (e) gas–liquid/liquid–liquid flows; (f) miscible and immiscible multicomponent flows; and (g) thermo/thermosolutal capillary convection.

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.
