Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multiphase flow, such as gas-solid flow, systems are ubiquitous in the chemical, food, energy, and pharmaceutical industry. Experimental investigation of multiphase flows is vital but time-consuming and costly. With the development of advanced computer and numerical algorithms, multiscale computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of multiphase flows is becoming more and more popular and has seen noticeable progress in the modeling of various multiphase flows in recent years. Different numerical methods for micro, meso, and macro scales have been developed, such as particle-resolved direct numerical simulation, discrete element method/coarse grain discrete element method, two fluid model, and MPPIC. In addition, machine-learning-derived models and hybrid computing with CPU and GPU have recently been reported. These advancements have improved our understanding of various multiphase flow systems and helped toward the design and optimization of different reactors and operating conditions for industrial applications.
This Special Issue on ‘CFD simulation of Multiphase Flow’ seeks high-quality research and review papers focusing on multiscale CFD simulation of different multiphase flow systems. Topics include but are not limited to:
- Development, verification, and validation of advanced CFD models such as particle-resolved direct numerical simulation, discrete element method/coarse grain discrete element method, two fluid model, MPPIC, etc.;
- CFD modeling of various multiphase flow systems for physical understanding, design, and optimization of reactors and operating conditions;
- High-performance computing using parallel computing, hybrid CPU–GPU computing, etc.

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. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
