Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Swirling flows have been extensively used to stabilize flames in various combustion devices. The main effects of swirl are an improvement in flame stability as a result of the formation of toroidal recirculation zones and a reduction in flame lengths resulting from the production of high rates of entrainment of the ambient fluid and from fast mixing. However, our understanding of these swirling flows is still far from sufficient because of their complexity, especially in swirl spray combustion processes.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances and prospects related to the theory, experimentation, simulation and application of all types of swirl combustion techniques as well as the associated issues on flows, atomization and alternative fuels. Both research and review articles are welcome.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to the following:
- Optical diagnostics in swirl flames;
- Numerical simulations of swirl flames;
- Swirling flows;
- The use of renewable/alternative fuels in swirl combustion;
- Swirl flame dynamics;
- Swirl flame stabilization.

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.
