Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The advancement of numerical modelling in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been driven by the development of high-order discretization schemes, efficient solvers, and robust turbulence models. Recent studies have demonstrated improved accuracy and stability through spectral methods, finite element formulations, and high-resolution finite volume schemes. In addition, hybrid approaches combining deterministic and stochastic processes, such as uncertainty quantification and data-driven modelling, have enhanced the predictive capability of CFD simulations. These advancements are particularly relevant for mechanical engineering applications, including aerodynamics, thermal management, and fluid–structure interactions, where precise numerical solutions are critical for optimising performance and reliability.

This Special Issue on “Numerical Modelling in Computational Fluid Dynamics” seeks high-quality works focusing on the latest novel advances in the following areas:

  • Computational fluid mechanics;
  • Computacional and applied mathematics;
  • Heat and mass transfer applications with computational tools;
  • Computational and applied solid mechanics;
  • Computational wind engineering.

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.
