Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Renewables are having an ever-increasing role in energy production worldwide as we strive toward a zero carbon emission society. Fluid dynamics plays an important role in many renewables, from kinetic turbines of wind and tidal turbines to wave energy, hydrogen fusion, and geothermal and solar power. While in the past, much of the fluid dynamics of renewables relied on methodologies used in other disciplines. such as nautical and aeronautical engineering/sciences, for example, for turbine blades, further innovations require fluid dynamics methodology and development specially tailored toward renewables.
For this issue, we invite computational, experimental, and analytical studies on new developments and research in fluid dynamics of renewables ranging from wind and water to solar, geothermal, and fusion power. We particularly invite studies on new innovative approaches seeking to increase the efficiency of renewables, their robustness, and to reduce the environmental footprint of such renewables.

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.
