Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cavitation flows are of great interest due to their inherent complexity, their negative effects in many industrial applications and their recently discovered positive effects in fields such as the environment and the biomedical engineering. Consequently, it is necessary to advance in the understanding and simulation of cavitation in any of its forms in order to be able to control its effects and to take profit from them to benefit the industry and the society in general.
This Special Issue of Cavitating Flows is dedicated to publishing original numerical and experimental research works that increase our basic understanding of cavitation phenomena and its application to engineering problems. More specifically, this issue intends to collect contributions on any form of cavitation comprising isolated and clusters of bubbles, attached sheets, cloud cavitation, vortex cavitation and supercavitation appearing both in fluid machinery and flow systems.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
