Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Aerospace invites contributions to highlight recent advances in the theory, experimentation, and development of systems involving combustion processes, for the production and utilization of energy and propulsion.
Combustion still plays an important role in the world’s energy systems, and it will continue to evolve with the changes in technological demands. In addition, due to the depletion of fossil fuels and the consequences of emissions and the anthropogenic greenhouse effect, new challenges need to be tackled.
Novel and advanced concepts in combustion technology will be needed to address the problem of clean and efficient energy conversion into electric and propulsive power.
Among such concepts are very lean premixed combustion, advanced supercritical CO2 gas turbines with oxy-combustion and sequestration, premixed charged compression ignition, hydrogen enrichment of standard fuels in gas turbine combustion, supersonic scramjet combustion for hypersonic transportation, and supercritical combustion rocket engines with regenerative cooling systems, to name but a few.
Modern experimental techniques and numerical approaches exploiting high-performance computing resources are sufficiently advanced to address the problems in the aforementioned fields and to find new solutions.
This Special Issue of Aerospace will be dedicated to highly accurate analyses performed with the aid of advanced tools for the understanding of new clean combustion systems for future energy production and transportation applications.

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. Aerospace is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
