Most-cited papers in Fluids

A Review of Topology Optimisation for Fluid-Based Problems

Joe Alexandersen, Casper Schousboe Andreasen · 4 Mar 2020

This review paper provides an overview of the literature for topology optimisation of fluid-based problems, starting with the seminal works on the subject and ending with a snapshot of the state of the art of this rapidly developing field. “Fluid-based problems” are defined as problems where at least one governing equation for fluid flow is…

On the Values for the Turbulent Schmidt Number in Environmental Flows

Carlo Gualtieri, Athanasios Angeloudis, Fabián A. Bombardelli et al. · 19 Apr 2017

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has consolidated as a tool to provide understanding and quantitative information regarding many complex environmental flows. The accuracy and reliability of CFD modelling results oftentimes come under scrutiny because of issues in the implementation of and input data for those simulations. Regarding the input data, if an approach based on the…

Effect of Magnetohydrodynamics on Heat Transfer Behaviour of a Non-Newtonian Fluid Flow over a Stretching Sheet under Local Thermal Non-Equilibrium Condition

Konduru Sarada, R. J. Punith Gowda, Ioannis E. Sarris et al. · 25 Jul 2021

A mathematical model is proposed to describe the flow, heat, and mass transfer behaviour of a non-Newtonian (Jeffrey and Oldroyd-B) fluid over a stretching sheet. Moreover, a similarity solution is given for steady two-dimensional flow subjected to Buongiorno’s theory to investigate the nature of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) in a porous medium, utilizing the local thermal non-equilibrium…

Rheological Characterization of Carbopol® Dispersions in Water and in Water/Glycerol Solutions

Priscilla Varges, Camila Moreira Costa, Bruno Fonseca et al. · 4 Jan 2019

The influence of the solvent type on the rheological properties of Carbopol ® NF 980 dispersions in water and in water/glycerol solutions is investigated. The material formulation, preparation procedure, common experimental challenges and artifact sources are all addressed. Transient and steady-state experiments were performed. For both solvent types, a clearly thixotropic behavior occurs slightly above…

Surface Quasi-Geostrophy

Guillaume Lapeyre · 16 Feb 2017

Oceanic and atmospheric dynamics are often interpreted through potential vorticity, as this quantity is conserved along the geostrophic flow. However, in addition to potential vorticity, surface buoyancy is a conserved quantity, and this also affects the dynamics. Buoyancy at the ocean surface or at the atmospheric tropopause plays the same role of an active tracer…

Fluids template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Fluids format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Fluids template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Fluids use?
Fluids uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Fluids 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Fluids?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Fluids document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Fluids template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Fluids format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Fluids?
Fluids - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Fluids PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Fluids template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Fluids template cost?
You can start writing in the Fluids template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Fluids PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
