Recent Advances in Energy Combustion and Flame

Dear Colleagues,

Energy and combustion play a crucial role in forming our world, impacting nearly every facet of our lives. From the energy that powers our home to the transportation that takes us to places, this field underpins all fundamental elements of modern society. Even though it is rooted in fundamentals, with innovations and technological advancements, researchers are identifying new areas every day to improve legacy technologies and discover something new and inspiring. Also, challenges such as clean–sustainable power generation and environmental hazards due to combustion have attracted scholarly attention across the world, with more researchers making exciting breakthroughs. This Special Issue will highlight recent findings on energy and combustion research and their potential to address global challenges related to energy security, environmental pollution, and climate change.

We invite original research articles, review papers, and technical communications covering, but not limited to, the following areas:

• Fundamental combustion phenomena: turbulent combustion, flame chemistry, soot formation and control, pollutant emissions, advanced diagnostics, and flame propagation and stabilization;
• Innovative combustion technologies: oxy-fuel combustion, chemical looping combustion, plasma-assisted combustion, pulse detonation combustion, micro-combustion, humidified combustion, and lean combustion;
• Computational modeling and simulation: flame modelling, soot prediction, CFD simulations, and machine learning for combustion analysis;
• Combustion applications: clean and efficient combustion in engines (gas turbines, internal combustion engines), boilers, furnaces, and industrial burners;
• Renewable fuels and alternative combustion strategies: Biofuels, hydrogen combustion, ammonia combustion, and biomass gasification;
• Flame-based technologies: material synthesis, plasma processing, and thermal decomposition processes.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
