Computational fluid dynamics, better known by its infamous acronym CFD, is achieving a stage of maturity in many fields of engineering research and application. Currently, we are witnessing a renaissance of computer simulation technology where this changing landscape is caused by the rapid evolution of CFD techniques and models and the decreasing computer hardware costs accompanied by faster computing times. In spite of the many significant achievements, there remains much concerted development and advancement of CFD to meet the increasing demands bolstered from various emerging industries such as biomedical and bioengineering, uncharted areas in process, chemical, civil, and environmental engineering as well as traditionally renowned high-technology engineering areas in aeronautics and astronautics and automotive.

We invite investigators to contribute original research as well as review articles that seek to address the use of this powerful tool either for pure/applied research or for industrial applications. We are particularly interested in articles that explore advances in numerical methodology and computational models as well as other novel and innovative numerical approaches for CFD. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Parallel computing and multigridding methods
• Moving grids and immerse boundary method
• Direct numerical simulation (DNS), large eddy simulation (LES), or Reynolds-averaging and LES coupling for turbulent flows
• Multiphase flows
• Combusting and radiative flows
• Fluid-structure interaction
• Physiological and biological fluid dynamics
• Flows in microchannels
• Recent developments in meshless, lattice Boltzmann, smooth particle hydrodynamics, and Monte Carlo methods
