Summary
Advanced fluid mechanics and coupled heat–mass transport are fundamental to modern engineering applications in energy, aerospace, manufacturing, biomedical, nanotechnology, and environmental systems. Increasing industrial demands have accelerated research into nonlinear transport, multiphase flows, MHD, nanofluids, porous media convection, and entropy generation. These studies enhance thermal efficiency, reduce energy consumption, promote sustainability, and support the development of innovative engineering solutions across diverse industrial sectors.
This Special Issue provides a platform for high-quality theoretical, computational, and experimental studies on advanced fluid flow and coupled heat–mass transport in engineering systems, promoting interdisciplinary innovations that enhance modelling, optimization, energy efficiency, thermal management, industrial processes, environmental sustainability, and the development of modern engineering and technological applications.
