EPJ ST Special Issue: IMA12 - Interfacial Fluid Dynamics and Processes

Details

Published on 10 July 2025

Guest Editors: Santiago Madruga, Carolina Mendoza

We invite contributions to a Special Issue of the European Physical Journal Special Topics (EPJ-ST) dedicated to Interfacial Fluid Dynamics and Processes This special issue will highlight recent advances in interfacial fluid dynamics, featuring research related to the 12th Conference of the International Marangoni Association (IMA12), organized in Madrid, Spain, in June 2025.

The IMA conferences have established a renowned global platform in the field of interfacial fluid dynamics. They serve as a forum for scientists, engineers, students, postdoctoral researchers, and faculty members from diverse backgrounds to share, discuss, and disseminate cutting-edge developments in interfacial phenomena and related transport processes. IMA12, held in Madrid (2025), continues the tradition of previous successful editions in Bordeaux, France (2023); Iasi, Romania (2022); Guilin, China (2018); Bad Honnef, Germany (2016); Vienna, Austria (2014); Haifa, Israel (2012); Florence, Italy (2010); Tokyo, Japan (2008); Gainesville, FL, USA (2006); Brussels, Belgium (2004); and Gießen, Germany (2001).

The Marangoni effects represent an important aspect of the conference, but the conference encompasses a broader spectrum of interfacial-related phenomena. This Special Issue seeks original research papers and review articles that explore the theoretical, numerical, modeling, and experimental aspects of interfacial fluid dynamics and their applications in diverse physical systems.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas:

• Surfactants and particle suspensions
• Instabilities
• Vibrated systems and Faraday waves
• Droplet dynamics and spreading
• Wetting and contact angle dynamics
• Fluids under microgravity conditions
• Liquid bridges
• Evaporation and condensation phenomena
• Thermocapillary flows
• Electrohydrodynamics and electric fields
• Solid-liquid phase change
• Marangoni and photo-Marangoni effects
• Multiphase flows and phase-field modeling
• Solutocapillary flows
• Surface waves
• Acoustics and optofluidics
• Thin and soap films
• Binary and multicomponent mixtures
• Coating processes
• Microfluidics
• Applications in material processing
• Bio-fluid systems
• Geophysical flows

Articles should be submitted to the Editorial Office of EPJ ST via the submission system, and should be clearly identified as intended for the topical issue “IMA12 - Interfacial Fluid Dynamics and Processes”.

More detailed author information including paper types can be found in the Submission Guidelines. For the preparation of the manuscripts a special latex template (preferably single-column layout) is available here.

Open Access: EPJST is a hybrid journal offering Open Access publication via the Open Choice programme and a growing number of Transformative Agreements. If the institution of the CORRESPONDING AUTHOR is part of such a Transformative Agreement, the Open Access fee will be covered by the agreement partner. All agreements are listed with more details under TRANSFORMATIVE Agreements. Eligibility will be automatically verified when the corresponding author is requested to complete the relevant affiliation information after acceptance of the paper during the production process. Corresponding authors not affiliated to institutes with Transformative Agreements are redirected to proceed with “Please select your publishing model” and have to decide between paying the current Open Access fee or choosing the subscription option without any publication charges.
