Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aerodynamics, the study of the interaction of air with solid objects, is a main pillar in aerospace engineering. This Special Issue, entitled Advancements in Aerodynamics for Aerospace Applications, is focused on sharing state-of-the-art research and breakthroughs in this field. The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following key topics:
- Computational fluid dynamics (CFD): research on numerical techniques for aerodynamic analysis applied to the aerospace field. Advances in turbulence modelling for aerospace applications.
- Wind tunnel testing: research on experimental techniques for aerodynamic analysis applied to the aerospace field.
- Aircraft aerodynamics: exploring the design and optimization of aircraft shapes to enhance performance, efficiency and safety and engine integration.
- Spacecraft aerodynamics: research on the unique challenges of aerodynamics in space exploration, including topics such as re-entry, hypersonic flight and aerodynamic heating.
- Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs): aerodynamic considerations in the design and operation of UAVs.
- Supersonic and hypersonic flight: addressing the challenges in supersonic and hypersonic flight, including the study of shock waves, boundary–layer interactions, and thermal protection.
- Ventilation and thermal comfort: air flows inside aircrafts and spacecrafts, and effects of external aerodynamics on internal air conditioning.
- New concepts: new aerospace concepts or technologies involving aerodynamics in different ways.
We invite researchers to submit original research articles, reviews, and case studies that contribute to the advancement of aerodynamics and its application in the aerospace sector.

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.
