Summary
The special issue on fluid mechanics and green materials processing covers research in sustainable energy, green technology, and environmental sciences. It focuses on recent development and research studies in the area of green materials, fluid flow, and computational fluid dynamics related to green energy applications. Green energy is referred to the energy that is produced from renewable energy resources such as solar, wind, biomass, hydropower, geothermal, and tidal. The papers may present novel analytical, numerical or experimental findings within the context of fluid mechanics or green materials processing.
Interesting topics considered are including but not limited to the following:
1) Numerical modelling in fluid mechanics such as computational fluid dynamics analysis, fluid structure interaction, multiphase flow;
2) Experimental investigations in fluid mechanics such as Laser-Doppler-Velocimetry, hot film and hot wire anemometry, Particle-Image-Velocimetry, etc;
3) Environmental fluid mechanics such as transport and dispersion processes in natural fluid flows;
4) Green materials development such as batteries, supercapacitor, fuel cells, solar cells, hydrogen storage, thermoelectric;
5) Emerging material for efficient sustainable energy and environment devices.
