Design and Optimization of Fluid Machinery, 3rd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Fluid machinery refers to fluid as the working medium for energy conversion machinery, including turbines, pumps, and compressors. Due to the wide application range, diverse applicability, and complex structure of fluid machinery, it is difficult to meet the requirements of changeable operating conditions using a fixed structure. Therefore, to maximize the structural performance of fluid machinery, it is necessary to optimize its structural parameters to fully understand its internal flow law; this will enable us to meet the development requirements of a wide range, high efficiency, and energy savings in the current fluid machinery industry.

In recent years, with the emergence of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and various advanced optimization algorithms, the design and optimization of fluid machinery has er-emerged as a topic of interest. In particular, with the help of CFD technology, researchers can observe the abnormal flow phenomenon in fluid machinery more intuitively and achieve the rapid design and automatic optimization of fluid machinery structures by setting different optimization objectives.

This Special Issue seeks high-quality original research and review articles focusing on the latest novel advances in the design and optimization of fluid machinery.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• The design and optimization of fluid machinery;
• Cavitation performance and its control;
• The numerical simulation of transient flow and instabilities;
• Flow-induced vibration in fluid machinery;
• Advanced optimization algorithms;
• The application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in optimization;
• Innovative technologies for flow control;
• The suppression of unsteady flow.

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-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Water 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.
