Special Issue on Optimization and Flow Characteristics in Advanced Fluid Machinery

Abstract

This editorial discusses the importance of Advanced Fluid Machinery in the sustainable development of energy. Fluid machinery is crucial in many engineering applications, including aerospace, civil, mechanical, and chemical engineering. This Special Issue, entitled “Optimization and Flow Characteristics in Advanced Fluid Machinery”, features several research articles exploring flow characteristics and optimization in fluid mechanics. The authors present innovative ideas, methodologies, and techniques to advance the field of fluid mechanics. The papers cover a wide range of topics, including computational fluid dynamics (CFD), turbulence modeling, heat transfer, multiphase flow, and fluid–structure interactions. The articles featured in this Special Issue also investigate the relevant hydrodynamic attributes of turbomachinery, high-pressure jets, marine propulsion systems, and internal combustion engines to a considerable extent, significantly expanding the scope of research within the Special Issue.
