Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of computational and numerical methods in wind engineering problems is known as Computational Wind Engineering (CWE), and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) are a major contributor in this regard. CWE covers a wide scope of topics such as: pedestrian level wind comfort (PLW), pollutant dispersion, wind energy harvesting, wind loads on buildings, and fluid–structure interaction (FSI).
Applications of CFD in the field of wind engineering have gained traction in the recent past, especially due to improved modelling techniques and the rapid development of computational hardware. These improvements have enabled CFD to be used as a tool not only for research purposes but also practical engineering design.
Thus, the aim of this Special Issue is to collect manuscripts that demonstrate the effective use of CFD in any of the CWE topics mentioned. In particular, submitted papers must contain some form of practical application of CFD that can be adopted in practical engineering design and must be validated through experiments.

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.
