Summary
1. Background
The continuous demand for energy-efficient technologies and high-performance thermal systems has led to the evolution of innovative fluidic materials, among which ternary hybrid nanofluids have emerged as a promising class. These advanced fluids consist of three distinct types of nanoparticles dispersed in a conventional base fluid (such as water, ethylene glycol, or oil), offering significantly enhanced thermal conductivity, viscosity control, and heat transfer characteristics. When exposed to thermal radiation, especially in high-temperature and radiative heat environments, the behavior of these fluids changes dramatically. Understanding these interactions is crucial for a wide range of industrial and engineering applications, including thermal processing of materials, energy systems, solar thermal collectors, microchannel heat sinks, metal extrusion, and additive manufacturing. Despite the promising potential of ternary hybrid nanofluids, studies on their behavior remain limited. This special issue seeks to fill this gap by inviting original research articles and reviews that explore theoretical, experimental, and numerical investigations of ternary hybrid nanofluids in various environments relevant to fluid dynamics and materials processing.
