Interests: use of experimental techniques in fluid mechanics such as PIV, LDA, HWA, pressure, temperature (use of liquid crystals), wall shear and aerodynamic force measurements, and flow visualization; investigating flow phenomena such as dynamic stall and stall flutter of pitching and plunging wings; flow control using pulsating jets; aerodynamics of UAVs; performance of swim fins and sails; flow in microchannels with superhydrophobic/superhydrophylic surfaces; flow in stent models/aneurysms/self-oscillating flexible tubes; valveless pumping

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Unsteady flows occur in countless situations, both in nature and in technological applications. Faithfully recording quantities such velocity, pressure, and temperature in time and space is of paramount importance for broadening our understanding of the examined phenomena and improving their prediction through appropriate numerical modeling.
This Special Issue of Fluids is dedicated to experimental studies of unsteady aerodynamic and biological flows. Although the first are mainly external flows and the latter internal ones, there are many similarities between the two, such as self-sustained oscillations during flutter of an elastically mounted wing and the vibrating walls of a blood vessel, vortex shedding from solid bodies immersed in a fluid stream (e.g., buildings, vehicles) and downstream of a blood vessel bifurcation or stenosis, jet-like flows downstream of pitching wings and downstream of vibrating vocal folds during sound and voice production, etc.
Researchers will be able to publish their work on the aforementioned topics employing various measurement techniques, either traditional, e.g., PIV, LDA, HWA, or new ones, revealing flow details which could be beneficial for understanding the physics of the examined flows and provide useful information to those who work in CFD.

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.
