Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to the mechanism and technique of heat transfer enhancement. These are central to industries such as the thermal power industry, nuclear power, food manufacturing, chemical industry, electronics and petroleum in the context of the global energy shortage. The main research objective of heat transfer enhancement technology is to improve heat transfer capacity and efficiency by enhancing heat conduction, convection or radiation heat transfer processes, among which the most widely studied is the enhancement of convection heat transfer. Convection heat transfer enhancement methods can be divided into active enhancement methods and passive enhancement methods. The former is mainly achieved by adding inserts, changing the geometry of pipe walls or heat transfer elements, rough wall surfaces, etc. Conversely, the latter requires external inputs to operate, such as mechanical agitation, surface vibration, fluid vibration, jet suction, etc. In addition, there are composite reinforcement techniques in which two or more of the above methods are applied simultaneously. Heat transfer enhancement is a complex problem that involves the multidisciplinary coupling of fluid, heat transfer and materials. In this Special Issue, we invite submissions that explore cutting-edge research and recent advances in the mechanism and techniques of heat transfer enhancement.

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. Fluids 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 1800 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.
