Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aerodynamics of bluff bodies have fascinated researchers for decades due to their vast number of applications, which range from civil engineering to wind engineering, and from bridges to offshore structures, which profoundly relies on our underacting of Bluff body aerodynamics.
This Special Issue of Fluids is dedicated to recent developments in bluff body aerodynamics in terms of fundamentals and applications to engineering problems. The aim is to provide researchers with the opportunity to present original research papers as well as review articles to provide an overview of future areas of research in this field. The topics may include but are not limited to numerical and experimental studies on the vortex shedding phenomenon; bridge, cable and building aerodynamics; vehicle and train aerodynamics; and wake flow control. Novel ideas and emerging research topics within the scope of bluff body aerodynamics such as flow induced vibration energy harvesting are highly welcomed.

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.
