Special Issue “ Fluid Flow, Energy Transfer and Design”

Abstract

Fluids are important because of their preponderance in our lives. Fluid mechanics touches almost every aspect of our daily lives, and it plays a central role in many branches of science and technology. Therefore, it is a challenging and exciting field of scientific activity due to the complexity of the subject studied and the breadth of the applications. The quest for advances in fluid mechanics, as in other scientific fields, emerge from analytical, computational (CFD) and experimental studies. The improvement in our ability to describe, predict and control the phenomena played (and plays) key roles in the technological breakthroughs. The present theme issue of “Fluid and Heat Flow: Simulation and Optimization” collects a selection of papers. selection of papers presented at Special Session “Fluid Flow, Energy Transfer and Design”
