Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since the advent of the first micromachined flow sensors in the 1970s, there has been a tremendous development. Whereas the first sensors were mostly based on thermal sensing principles we now see a large range of different operating principles, e.g., anemometric, calorimetric, time-of-flight, measuring pressure drop or drag force, sensors based on Coriolis forces, and ultrasonic sensors. Besides measuring mass flow there is also an increasing demand to measure fluid parameters, such as density and viscosity, and detect fluid composition.
This Special Issue covers recent advances in all aspects of microfluidic flow and fluid parameter sensing research, including design and fabrication of the sensor chips, physical working principles, modeling, and simulation, and the measurement setups for their characterization and calibration.

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. Sensors 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 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.
