Summary
High-speed flows are fundamental to numerous scientific and engineering applications, particularly in aerospace, defense, propulsion systems, and high-speed transportation. These flows often involve complex phenomena such as shock waves, boundary layer interactions, turbulence, compressibility effects, and thermal-chemical nonequilibrium. The accurate analysis and prediction of such phenomena require advanced computational methods capable of capturing multi-scale, multi-physics behaviors under extreme conditions.
With rapid advancements in numerical algorithms, high-performance computing, and data-driven modeling, researchers now have access to sophisticated tools to simulate high-speed flow environments with greater precision and efficiency. However, challenges remain in terms of numerical stability, computational cost, and validation of models under real-world scenarios.
This Special Issue invites the submission of high-quality research and review articles focused on innovative computational strategies for high-speed flow analysis. Contributions should aim to enhance the understanding, modeling, and simulation of high-speed flows using advanced computational frameworks, including but not limited to high-fidelity numerical methods, adaptive meshing techniques, and machine-learning-assisted simulations.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
· High-resolution numerical methods for compressible and hypersonic flows.
· Shock–boundary layer interaction modeling and simulation.
· Turbulence and transition modeling in high-speed regimes.
· Multiphysics simulations involving aerothermodynamics and reactive flows.
· Data-driven and reduced-order modeling for high-speed flow applications.
In addition, submissions that integrate body shape optimization and materials selection under high-speed flow conditions are strongly encouraged. Of particular interest are studies that combine aerothermal and structural considerations to identify optimal geometries and material configurations capable of withstanding the extreme mechanical and thermal loads characteristic of high-speed environments. Multidisciplinary design approaches addressing both aerodynamic performance and material resilience are especially welcome.
