Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fluid dynamics, thermal sciences, and energy systems are key areas of research that continuously push the boundaries of science and engineering. Advances in computational techniques, particularly computational fluid dynamics (CFD), have provided researchers with powerful tools to analyze, simulate, and optimize complex systems across various applications, including fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and renewable energy.
This Special Issue, “Advances in Fluid Dynamics and Energy Systems: Applications of Symmetry and Asymmetry”, aims to gather cutting-edge studies that leverage numerical modeling, simulation, and experimental techniques to deepen our understanding of these fields. While symmetry and asymmetry can serve as valuable analytical perspectives—such as in geometric configurations, boundary conditions, or flow patterns—this issue welcomes research from a broad spectrum of topics and methodologies.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the application of CFD in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, thermodynamics, and renewable energy systems. Contributions that explore the interplay between experimental data and numerical simulations are particularly encouraged as they bridge the gap between theory and real-world applications.
By fostering interdisciplinary contributions, this Special Issue seeks to advance the design, analysis, and optimization of engineering systems, providing both theoretical insights and practical solutions to modern challenges.

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.
