Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Symmetry appears in many fluid processes, from small-scale phenomena to large industrial systems. This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in symmetric and asymmetric flow behavior and their implications for engineering and marine systems.
We invite submissions covering computational fluid dynamics, experimental research, and applications in mechanical engineering, marine hydrodynamics, aerospace, and environmental flows. Topics of interest include turbulence studies, vortex dynamics, heat and mass transfer, flow control methods, fluid structure interactions, additive manufacturing for asymmetric flow control, ship resistance, hull optimization, and related topics.
Researchers from academia and industry are encouraged to contribute their work on advances in fluid dynamics and related engineering fields where symmetry plays an important role.

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.
