Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The chemical industry is fundamental to the development of human society, as it provides various necessary raw materials. As a powerful tool, CFD can be used in chemical industries to analyze and optimize chemical processes and devices, such as reactors, distillation columns, heat exchangers, etc. By predicting the flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer of the flow in the chemical process before the real process or device is established, the performance and efficiency can be realized, thus reducing the cost of the product, process development, and optimization activities, improving the process reliability and shortening the product marketing cycle.
Seeking high-quality and interesting studies on chemical processes, this Special Issue, titled “2nd Edition of Applications of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in Chemical Process Simulations”, will provide a platform for research on the latest advances in the application of CFD in this field. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Multiphase flow in chemical processes and devices;
- Numerical simulation of complex fluids in chemical processes and devices;
- Heat and mass transfer numerical simulation in chemical processes;
- Numerical simulation in micro-scaled processes;
- Application of CFD in process intensification technology;
- Application of CFD in producing advanced materials and new energy resources.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
