Hydraulics

Submission deadline: 06/01/2018

Scope and purposes

Hydraulics is an applied science whose purpose is to study the mechanical properties of liquids and fluids. Fluid mechanics is the theoretical basis of hydraulics.

Science and technology for innovation

Submission deadline: 11/30/2017

Scope and purposes

Recent years have been witnessing fast developments of measurement technologies and analysis techniques. These developments are partly driven by the introduction of new measurement technologies and partly by the requirements of industry in some emerging areas of applications. Moreover, ever growing interest to the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), which requires vital support from model tests and full-scale measurements, has been another major drive in addition to our never diminishing curiosity for many less understood complexities of flow design. The use of computers to solve complex fluid mechanics equations is a strategy used by around a third of fluid mechanics researchers. The fluid mechanics sector is a cornerstone of the industry and represents a full-fledged industrial sector (represented in the fields of equipment, processing, design and precision), but also A set of technologies on which are based many sectors such as those that build materials for transport, energy, health, environment.

The aim of this special issue is to identify industrial needs and innovative technologies, propose research and technology orientations to initiate R & D projects, and provide information to industrialists, decision-makers and Scientists who may be unaware of the resources.


Topics of primary interest include, but are not limited to:
• Fluid Mechanics
• Thermal Engineering
• Hydrodynamic
• Pipe flow
• Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Fluid
