Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that Applied Mechanics is now compiling a collection of outstanding papers in the field of fluid mechanics. We welcome contributions from the material mechanics research community as well as recommendations from Editorial Board Members.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish a set of papers that typify the most exceptional, insightful, influential, and original research articles or reviews. We expect these papers to be widely read and highly influential within the field. All papers in this Special Issue will be collated into a printed edition book after the deadline and will be well-promoted.

We would also like to take this opportunity to call on more scholars to join the journal so that we can work together to further develop this exciting field of research.

Dr. Pedro Javier Gamez-Montero
Guest Editor

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 Mechanics is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1200 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.

Every aerodynamic optimization is proceeded by a parameterization of the studied aerial object, and due to its influence on the final optimization process, careful attention should be made in choosing the appropriate parameterization method. An aerodynamic optimization of a morphing trailing edge is performed using a free-form deformation parameterization technique with the purpose of examining the influence of the initial conditions of the parameterization on the optimization results, namely on the number of control points. High-fidelity gradient-based optimization using the discrete adjoint method is established by the coupling of OpenFOAM and Python within the DAFoam optimization framework. The results indicate that the number of control points has a considerable effect on the optimization process, in particular on the convergence, objective function value, and on the deformation feasibility.
