Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent decades, there have been rapid advances in particle methods. These methods have different numerical schemes from grid-based numerical methods and have attracted researchers from all over the world for various applications, the most representative of which is the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method. SPH is a purely Lagrangian mesh-free numerical method that has unique advantages in dealing with complex flow problems containing free surfaces or multi-phase interfaces. With the continuous improvement of computational accuracy and stability, the SPH method has been widely used in many fields of science and engineering.
This Special Issue, entitled "Advances in Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) Method for Complex Flows," aims to cover recent advances in the development and application of SPH for complex flows. It will review the latest progress of the SPH basic theory, focusing on its research progress in interface flows, fluid–solid coupling, non-Newtonian fluids, and other fields, as well as future developments. Topics will include, but are not limited to, methods and/or applications in the following areas:
- The application of the SPH method to complex fluid flow problems in chemical engineering;
- Recent advances in SPH and other advanced mesh-free methods;
- Coupling of the SPH method with PD, DEM, MPM, and other methods to solve complex flow problems;
- Applications of SPH for the simulation of soft materials, fluid–structure interaction, geomechanics, fluid–particle interaction, multi-phase interactions, additive manufacturing, nano-, non-Newtonian, and visco-elastic fluids, etc.

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. Processes 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 2400 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.
