Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is devoted to the intricate world of complex fluid flows in microfluidics, a domain that has revolutionized numerous scientific and engineering fields. Microfluidics, the science and technology of manipulating fluids at the micrometer scale, presents unique challenges and opportunities in understanding and controlling fluid behavior. Complex fluid flows, encompassing non-Newtonian fluids and multiphase flows, are critical to advancing applications in biotechnology, medicine, and chemical engineering. This Special Issue seeks to gather cutting-edge research that explores novel theoretical models, experimental techniques, and computational simulations in order to address the complexities of fluid dynamics in microfluidic systems.
We are delighted to invite you to contribute to our Special Issue on "Complex Fluid Flows in Microfluidics". It aims to showcase the latest research and innovations in understanding and manipulating complex fluid dynamics at the micrometer scale. We welcome original research articles and comprehensive reviews that explore theoretical, experimental, and computational aspects of microfluidic systems. Your contributions will help to elucidate the intricate behaviors of complex fluids and inspire new applications as well as technologies. We look forward to your participation and to sharing the remarkable advancements in microfluidics with the broader scientific community.
Dr. Célio Fernandes

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. Micromachines 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 2600 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.
