Special Focus on: Optimal Fluid Systems & Machinery

The competitive cost of numerical simulations over laboratory studies, due to the continued advancements in computing performance, has made computational fluid dynamics an integral tool in the study of engineering problems. This topical special focus issue “Optimal Fluid Systems and Machinery” of the Journal of Research on Engineering Structures & Materials (RESM) covers a varied range of engineering systems. It contains papers selected on the basis of the results of regular peer review of the short manuscripts submitted for consideration by the participants of the Special Session “Fluid Flow, Energy Transfer and Design” at the 13th International Conference on Diffusion in Solids and Liquids (DSL2018) held in Vienna, Austria
