Advances in Unsteady Aerodynamics and Aeroelasticity

Dear Colleagues,

Unsteady aerodynamics and aeroelasticity represent two interconnected fields critical to the design, analysis, and operation of a wide range of engineering systems, including aircraft, wind turbines, bridges, and automotive structures. This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to showcase their latest advancements, methodologies, and insights in these areas, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange to address current challenges and propel innovation forward.

Prospective authors are invited to submit original research articles, review papers, and short communications relevant to the theme of this Special Issue. Submissions will undergo a rigorous peer review process to ensure that the accepted contributions are of a high quality and are significant. Contributions are invited to be submitted on a broad spectrum of topics related to unsteady aerodynamics and aeroelasticity, including, but not limited to, the following:

1. Unsteady flow phenomena and their effects on aerodynamic performance;
2. Aeroelastic instabilities and their implications for structural integrity and safety;
3. Novel computational methods and numerical simulations for analyzing unsteady aerodynamic phenomena;
4. Experimental techniques and validation studies in unsteady aerodynamics and aeroelasticity;
5. Aeroelastic control strategies for enhancing stability and performance;
6. Application of unsteady aerodynamics and aeroelasticity principles in aerospace, wind energy, civil engineering, and automotive industries;
7. Multiphysics and multiscale modeling approaches for coupled unsteady aerodynamics and aeroelasticity problems;
8. Effects of unsteady aerodynamics on structural fatigue, flutter, and dynamic response;
9. Advances in materials and structural designs to mitigate unsteady aerodynamic loads;
10. Case studies, practical applications, and real-world challenges in unsteady aerodynamics and aeroelasticity.

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.
