Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is a field of study that incorporates electromagnetism and fluid mechanics. The flow of conducting fluids is substantially influenced by electromagnetic forces. This mechanism has been widely applied to various industries, such as steel-making processes, semiconductor crystal growth, liquid metal blankets in nuclear fusion reactors, electromagnetic pumps, electromagnetic levitation of drops, dynamo simulation of planets, and so on. Chandraskar studied the magnetohydordynamic stability of fundamental flows (Rayleigh–Bénard convection, Taylor–Couette flow and others). Nowadays, due to the developments of both the computational resources and its techniques, more complex MHD flows are being investigated through numerical analyses and experiments. This Special Issue focuses on various complex MHD phenomena and their applications, such as MHD turbulence, MHD flows caused by alternating magnetic fields (moving, rotating or oscillating magnetic fields) and high Hartmann number flows. It also includes breaks of flow symmetry due to various kinds of factors, such as shear stress, buoyancy, centrifugal force, and surface tension.

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. Symmetry 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 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.
