Sensors for Flow Measurement

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, we have seen a rapid advancement of sensor technologies, which offers new opportunities for flow measurement. Compared with traditional approaches, modern sensors provide higher temporal resolution, broader frequency response, greater adaptability to turbulent environments, and reliable capability for long-term monitoring under complex conditions. This Special Issue aims to collate original research and review articles on the design, theory, manufacture, and application of advanced sensors for flow measurement.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to the following:

• Development of novel sensor technologies for fluid mechanics applications;
• High-frequency and fast-response sensors for turbulence and multiphase flows;
• Sensors for cavitation, bubble dynamics, and interfacial phenomena;
• Optical, MEMS, and wireless sensors for flow measurement;
• Long-term and large-scale monitoring using sensor networks;
• Sensor calibration, validation, and uncertainty quantification;
• Applications of sensors in air quality monitoring and pollutant dispersion;
• Integration of sensors with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and data-driven methods;
• Advances in sensor miniaturization, durability, and deployment in harsh environments;
• Sensors for biomedical and industrial flow measurement applications.

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. Sensors 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.
