Summary

With the rapid evolution of modern engineering systems, the interplay between fluid dynamics and material behavior has become increasingly significant, particularly under extreme conditions and in the presence of coupled multiphysics phenomena. Engineering structures such as steel frameworks, concrete infrastructures, pipelines, energy systems, and aerospace components are routinely subjected to complex environments characterized by fluid flow, thermal gradients, mechanical loading, and progressive material degradation. The interaction among these factors governs transport processes, structural response, and failure mechanisms, ultimately exerting a critical influence on performance, durability, and operational safety.This Special Issue aims to provide a focused platform for cutting-edge research in these fields. Particular emphasis is placed on integrating fluid dynamics with materials processing, structural performance, and computational modeling. The issue encourages interdisciplinary contributions combining experimental, numerical, and data-driven approaches.

The scope includes, but is not limited to:
(1) Fluid-structure and fluid-material interaction in steel structures, concrete systems, pipelines, and composite materials under dynamic and extreme conditions;
(2) Multiphase flow, non-Newtonian fluids, and transport phenomena in materials processing, including metals, alloys, and construction materials;
(3) Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element methods (FEM), and coupled multiphysics modeling of thermo-fluid-solid systems;
(4) Behavior of engineering materials (steel, concrete, composites, smart materials) under fluid-induced forces, corrosion, erosion, and thermal effects;
(5) Machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data-driven techniques for prediction, optimization, and structural health monitoring of fluid-material systems;
(6) Experimental and numerical studies on heat and mass transfer, flow-induced damage, and durability of engineering materials;
(7) Applications in civil infrastructure, energy systems, aerospace, and industrial processes involving fluid-material coupling.

This Special Issue will promote the integration of fluid dynamics, materials science, and intelligent modeling to address emerging challenges in advanced engineering applications.
