Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Due to the complexity of airway and lung structures, it has been challenging to understand their fundamental physiology and mechanics, especially in biofluid perspectives. The airways of the respiratory system contain multiscale fractal structures, so they haves a broad range of flow structure from laminar, transitional, and turbulent flows. With a recent advance in computational methods and experimental settings, the respiratory system has been investigated in a comprehensive manner by many biomechanical engineers. This Special Issue is open to all kinds of the state-of-the art and innovative biofluid mechanical modeling in the respiratory system. Studies of disease modeling such as asthma, COPD, fibrosis, and more are encouraged to be submitted. The current Issue of “Biofluid Mechanical Modelling of Respiratory System” is the right place to publish both numerical and experimental studies in biofluid mechanics associated with the respiratory system.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
