Summary
The exploration of turbulent flows with high-performance computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and sophisticated experimental observations has made significant strides in recent years. Turbulent flows are everywhere in nature and technology, and a proper understanding of this category of flows is instrumental in producing further advances in many fields. Nevertheless, there are aspects, which still require attention and research. Turbulence is a very complex subject andthis Special Issue aims to serve as a common resource to share the latest advances in the simulation and experimental analysis of its unique properties with an emphasis on the subjects covered by the FDMP journal (described at https://www.techscience.com/fdmp/info/journal_overview).
