Description: This special issue on “Computational Analysis of Heat Transfer in Fluids and Solids II” in the journal “Defect and Diffusion Forum” addresses various nonlinear models involving heat transfer phenomenon in fluids and solids. Computational techniques are employed to analyze the engineering solutions in the area of heat and mass transfer and numerical results are discussed in order to demonstrate the salient features of practical engineering and industrial applications. The topics covered in this issue include: tribology, extended surfaces fins, reactive flow problem, Newtonian and non-Newtonian flow, nanofluids dynamics, boundary layer flow, natural convection, hydrodynamic stability, biomechanics, plasma physics, physics of dusty plasma, forced convection, mixed convection, magnetohydrodynamics, thermal radiation, flow in porous media, and irreversibility analysis.
