Latest Developments in Fluid Mechanics and Energy

Dear Colleagues,

The aim is to bring together the latest outputs of researchers, designers, experimenters, modelers and numerical analysts from laboratories, industries and academies in the field of fluid properties, fluid flow, flow control, flow-induced vibrations, fluid–structure interaction, two-phase and multiphase flow and experimental methods used in the field of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and energy. The Topic covers all topics in measurement and calculation of state variables in the fluid flow, modeling and simulation in fluid mechanics and energy, optimization of flow parameters in thermal and hydraulic machines and systems, the application of the latest knowledge in the field of fluid mechanics and energy in technical practice, flow visualization, fluid properties, development of flow control methods, flow-induced vibrations and fluid–structure interaction, special experimental methods in fluid mechanics, energy, environmental technology and renewable energy sources and current problems and latest developments in the energy sector and energy systems (hydraulic pumps and turbines, heat exchangers, heating, cooling, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, heat pumps).
