Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Turbine and compressor performance is a crucial aspect in terms of increasing efficiency and reducing emissions for multiple applications, such as aeroengines and power-generation systems. The manufacturers of aircraft engines, gas turbines or industrial compressors are forced to pursue interdisciplinary design approaches involving aerodynamics, aeromechanics, and heat transfer in order to improve performance and durability, reduce fuel consumption, and minimize the environmental footprint. Today, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a key enabler allowing the pursuit of such goals. However, current aerodynamic design tools, mainly based on RANS/URANS approaches, frequently fail to predict flow details in blade passages. In consideration of this fact, researchers in the field of CFD are progressively moving towards the study of high-fidelity approaches in order to gain further insights into turbomachinery flows.
This Special Issue invites high-quality research papers covering a wide range of topics related to the development and application of CFD methods for turbomachinery design and analysis. All topics related to gas turbines, such as fans, compressors, turbines, etc., are within its scope.
We hope that researchers involved in the aforementioned fields will consider participating in this Special Issue.

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.
