Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, "Symmetry in Multiphase Flow Modeling," aims to explore the fundamental and applied aspects of symmetry in multiphase flows, with a particular emphasis on powder processing and handling operations. Symmetry principles—whether geometric, dynamic, or statistical—play a crucial role in understanding and optimizing complex multiphase systems involving gas–solid, liquid-solid, gas–liquid, and even three-phase flows.
We invite contributions that address symmetry-invariant modeling, experimental validation, and computational approaches applied to industrial powder-related processes such as pneumatic conveying, mixing, sieving, and drying. These operations often exhibit symmetric behavior in flow patterns, phase distribution, or scaling laws, which can significantly enhance predictive accuracy and design efficiency.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to: symmetric and broken symmetry flow regimes, scale-invariant models, symmetry-preserving numerical methods, and the role of symmetry in reducing model complexity. This issue seeks to bridge fundamental research with industrial applications, fostering advancements in the modeling and control of multiphase systems across engineering disciplines.

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. Symmetry 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.
