Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The proposed Special Issue aims at discussing the most recent computational models and approaches to address multiphysics non-equilibrium high-Mach flow physics. Contributions will be structured around the most advanced numerical models for complex multiphysics flows including multispecies constitutive thermochemical models for neutral and ionized mixtures of gases, finite-rate gas chemistry, thermal non-equilibrium, plasma radiation, electromagnetic field effects, turbulence and gas–surface interaction. Advances in the numerical formulation for the conservation laws addressing such regimes will also be discussed including state-of-the-art discretization schemes, higher-order techniques and coupling strategies between different physical systems.
The Special Issue will create the context to discuss several applications in the aerospace field including future vehicles aerothermodynamic design, advanced thermal protection systems, planetary re-entry, demise of space debris, and entry of meteors. It will create the space to discuss the latest studies on fundamental problems such as boundary layer development and transition in hypersonic regimes and non-equilibrium shock–wave boundary layer interaction, together with their coupling with non-equilibrium and MHD effects, multicomponent fluid models for plasmas, fluid–structural interactions (particularly for deformable structures), and hybrid turbulence models including aerothermochemistry.

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. Aerospace is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
