Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Advances in the Film Flow Transport Phenomena", intends to focus on recent developments and findings in the field of fluid dynamics, specifically regarding film flow, a type of fluid flow that occurs when a thin layer of fluid flows over a surface. The articles within this Special Issue will delve into the mechanisms and physics behind film flow, as well as the different techniques and methodologies used to study and analyze it. Some possible areas of focus for articles could include the following aspects:
- The use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate and analyze film flow;
- The effect of various parameters (such as surface tension, viscosity, and fluid velocity) on film flow;
- The use of various experimental techniques to study film flow, such as laser-induced fluorescence and molecular dynamics simulations;
- The use of film flow in industrial applications, such as heat exchangers and lubrication systems.
Overall, this Special Issue on "Advances in the Film Flow Transport Phenomena" will provide a detailed and in-depth look at the current state of research in this field and would be of interest to researchers and engineers working in fluid dynamics and related fields.

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. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
