Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions exploring cutting-edge research and recent advances to this Special Issue on Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics (CFM). The computational methodologies (numerical methods) and simulations related to engineering applications are pertinent to this Special Issue on CFM.

Hydrodynamics, turbulence flow, multiphase flow, gas dynamics, rheology, tribology, fluid-structure interaction, etc. belong to the definition of fluid in CFM, given that computational methodologies or models play an essential role in studies in the field. Engineering applications include the most branches of engineering and science, such as mechanical, civil, chemical, aeronautical, medical, geophysical, nuclear, and oceanographic ones. CFM favor applications on energy (renewable energy, nuclear energy, next-generation energy, and energy conversion and saving), chemical reactors and transport processes, ocean/atmospheric pollution, biomedicine, geological disposal, performance-based fire protection, flow-accelerated corrosion, structure integrity, air/sea/land vehicles, and so on. Benchmark solutions and comprehensive paper reviews are also within the scope of this issue on CFM.

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.

The drag coefficient is usually considered to be a constant value, which allows us to calculate the aerodynamic losses. However, at lower speeds and wind, this value could be distorted. This also applies to buses in urban environments where due to traffic, the speed is relatively low. Since the schedule of the buses is fixed, based on the driving cycle, they travel at a nominal cruising speed. This makes it possible to examine the drag losses in a quasi-steady condition. To find the magnitude of this distortion in losses, a large-eddy simulation method was used with the help of commercially available software. Symmetrical and asymmetrical flows were induced into the digital wind tunnel to assess the distribution of the forces in the cruising direction and examine the flow patterns. It was discovered that the drag forces behave differently due to the low speeds, and calculations should be performed differently compared to high-speed drag evaluations. Full article
