Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, significant progress has been made in the study of multi-phase flows, focusing on symmetric and asymmetric behaviour and their applications in various industrial fields through the integration of advanced simulations and measurements.
Theoretical analyses, numerical simulations, and experimental measurements are increasingly being employed to capture the complex dynamics of multi-phase flows. By leveraging insights gained from symmetric and asymmetric flow research, scientists and engineers can optimize the design process, improve efficiency, and reduce the operational risk of the equipment. Interdisciplinary collaborations among theoretical fluid dynamics experts, computational scientists, and experimentalists continue to drive innovation and push the boundaries of multi-phase flow research and its practical applications.
This Special Issue focuses on the ongoing advancements in theoretical innovation, simulation techniques, and experimental measurements of the multi-phase flow, underscoring their pivotal roles in advancing the understanding of multi-phase flow dynamics and fostering innovation across various scientific and engineering disciplines.

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. Symmetry 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.
