Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the world continues to grapple with the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation, the search for sustainable sources of energy has become more pressing than ever before. Low-carbon fuels, such as hydrogen, ammonia, biofuels, and synthetic fuels, have emerged as promising alternatives to traditional fossil fuels. However, the efficient combustion of these fuels remains a key challenge that must be overcome in order to realize their full potential. Fundamental scientific research on combustion behaviors, such as flame spread, combustion mechanisms, and combustion modeling, will contribute to the comprehensive understanding of flame development and the realization of efficient combustion.
This Special Issue aims to bring together researchers and practitioners from across the world to share their latest findings, insights, and experiences on the efficient combustion of low-carbon fuels. We invite original research articles, review papers, and case studies that address topics such as:
- Theoretical and experimental studies of the combustion of low-carbon fuels;
- Novel combustion technologies for low-carbon fuels;
- Combustion performance optimization and control for low-carbon fuels;
- Emission reduction strategies for low-carbon fuels;
- Environmental and economic assessments of low-carbon fuel combustion;
- Advanced combustion systems and technologies for low-carbon fuels.
We encourage submissions from a wide range of fields, including mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, materials science, and environmental science. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive and interdisciplinary overview of the current state of knowledge on the efficient combustion of low-carbon fuels and to identify promising avenues for future research.
This Special Issue aims to examine the frontiers of low-carbon fuel combustion, including experiments and numerical simulations studies of flame behaviors, combustion mechanism, combustion modeling, combustion efficiency, and emissions characteristics.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Experimental studies on low-carbon fuels combustion;
- Numerical simulations of combustion and applications of advanced numerical models;
- Applied combustion physics and chemistry, including combustion kinetics thermochemical reactions, heat transfer, and ignition characteristics;
- Flame behaviors of low-carbon fuels combustion;
- Progress in combustion modeling;
- Properties of combustion products;
- Emissions control.
