Advances in Fluid Dynamics and Applied Fluid Physics
Fluid dynamics and applied fluid physics remain at the forefront of scientific and engineering innovation, underpinning a wide range of disciplines—from aerospace and mechanical systems to biomedical devices, environmental sciences, and energy technologies. Despite significant progress in recent decades, many challenges persist due to the inherent complexity, nonlinearity, and multiscale nature of fluid flows, especially in real-world applications.
This Special Topic aims to bring together the latest theoretical, computational, and experimental advances that push the boundaries of our understanding and control of fluid behavior in practical contexts. We invite contributions that not only enhance the fundamental physics of fluid motion but also demonstrate meaningful applications across diverse engineering and scientific domains.
Topics covered include, but are not limited to:
- Turbulence modeling and control
- Biofluid dynamics and biomedical applications
- Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and high-performance simulations
- Geophysical and environmental fluid dynamics
- Multiphase and reactive flows
- Thermal-fluid systems and heat transfer
- Fluid-structure interaction
- Data-driven methods and AI in fluid physics
- Micro- and nanofluidics
- Applications in aerospace, energy systems, automotive, and beyond
