Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fluid mechanics and aerodynamics are fundamental disciplines that are indispensable to the aerospace and aviation sectors, providing the requisite theoretical foundations and technological infrastructure for the precipitous growth of the aerospace industry. In a concerted effort to galvanize academic discourse and to foster technological breakthroughs within this domain, we are delighted to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue entitled “Application of Fluid Mechanics and Aerodynamics in Aerospace”. The primary aim of this Special Issue is to collate cutting-edge research findings in the fields of fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, and to examine the critical roles that these scientific disciplines occupy within aerospace technology.
We are therefore interested in articles that investigate applications of fluid mechanics and aerodynamics in aerospace. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The application of fluid mechanics in aerospace propulsion systems;
- Aerodynamic optimization and innovation in aircraft design;
- The utilization of fluid mechanics and aerodynamics in spacecraft thermal protection technology;
- Investigating fluid mechanics and aerodynamics challenges pertaining to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs);
- Pivotal technologies in fluid mechanics and aerodynamics of hypersonic vehicles;
- The role of fluid mechanics and aerodynamics in spacecraft attitude control systems;
- Emerging methodologies and technologies for testing in fluid mechanics and aerodynamics;
- Additional aerospace applications allied with fluid mechanics and aerodynamics research.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
