Advances in Numerical and Experimental Modelling of Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer

Dear Colleagues,

The intersection of numerical and experimental approaches in fluid dynamics and heat transfer has yielded significant advancements in understanding complex phenomena. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest research, methodologies, and breakthroughs in the field, with a specific emphasis on applications in the energy sector. By bridging the gap between theory and application, we seek to create a comprehensive resource for scholars, researchers, and practitioners actively contributing to the evolving landscape of fluid flow and heat transfer studies with direct implications for energy technologies.

Themes and Topics:

We invite original research articles, reviews, short communications, and case studies covering, but not limited to, the following themes:

• Innovative numerical methods for fluid dynamics and heat transfer simulations in energy systems;
• Experimental techniques and instrumentation for studying fluid flow and heat transfer in energy applications;
• Multi-scale and multi-physics modeling approaches relevant to energy technologies
• Applications in various energy sectors, including renewable energy, thermal power plants, and energy storage systems;
• Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) validation through experimental data in the context of energy applications;
• Heat exchanger and thermal management system modeling with direct applications to energy efficiency;
• Advances in turbulent flow modeling and simulation for enhanced energy system performance;
• Fluid–structure interaction studies in the design and optimization of energy-related devices.

Authors are encouraged to highlight the practical implications and applications of their research in the energy sector. Submissions that demonstrate direct relevance to improving energy efficiency, sustainability, and innovation in energy technologies are particularly welcomed.

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.
