Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Turbomachinery plays a critical role in various essential sectors of the national economy, including marine engineering, aerospace, pump storage technology, nuclear energy production, and so on. Throughout the operation of turbomachinery, the fluid dynamics often become highly turbulent, involving several unstable flow phenomena such as rotating stall, vortex rope, tip leakage cavitating flow, jet, and wake. These unstable flow patterns significantly impact the energy performance and operational stability in turbomachinery.
This Special Issue, “Experimental Research and Numerical Simulations in Turbomachinery”, particularly highlights advancements in the technologies, methods, and applications regarding the turbulent flow in turbomachinery. Original topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Unstable flow and its alleviation method in hydraulic pumps and turbines.
- Tip leakage flow and rotating stall in gas/steam/supercritical carbon dioxide compressor and turbine.
- Multiphase flow inside turbomachinery.
- High-precision numerical simulation methods.
- High-reliability experimental measurement technology.
- Application of machine learning in flow prediction, design, and optimization of turbomachinery.

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-anonymized 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.
