With long-term history of development, the science "Convection heat and mass transfer" has become an important scientific field so far, and plays huge role in engineering and People's life. However, with the rapid development of modern industry the current achievements of traditional theory of convection heat and mass transfer are still not adapted to the practical requirements. For a simple example, a lot of calculation correlations on convection heat and mass transfer application are still empirical or semi-empirical from experiment. Therefore, a big challenge is to develop innovative research for enhancement of the practical application value of convection heat and mass transfer. The original achievements on theoretical and experimental research are encouraged in our special issue, which may include theoretical methods, mathematical models, numerical approaches and calculation, treatment of variable physical properties, novel experiment method and results, and progress of convection heat and mass transfer application.
