Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am delighted to announce a new Special Issue of the prestigious international journal Applied Sciences, titled "Advances in Combustion Science and Engineering", for which I serve as the Guest Editor.
Combustion is essential for the production of energy, transportation, and industrial applications, forming the foundation of many technological and infrastructure advancements.
As global objectives veer toward sustainability, the development of cleaner, more efficient combustion technologies is critical for meeting energy demands while reducing environmental effects. This Special Issue focuses on the most recent research, developments, and applications in combustion science and engineering, including fundamental investigations, computational and experimental methodologies, and practical applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Combustion Modeling and Simulation
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation for combustion;
- Kinetic studies of chemical reactions in combustion systems;
- Reduced-order modeling and machine learning in combustion research.
- Combustion in Engines
- Advances in internal combustion engines, gas turbines, and propulsion systems;
- Strategies for improving engine efficiency and reducing emissions.
- Alternative Fuels and Sustainability
- Combustion characteristics of hydrogen, ammonia, biofuels, and other renewable energy sources;
- Techno-economic analysis of alternative fuel systems.
- Experimental Diagnostics
- Development of laser-based techniques, advanced imaging, and novel diagnostic tools for combustion analysis.
- Pollutant Formation and Control
- Mechanisms of NOx, CO, particulate formation, and promising emission reduction techniques.
- Industrial Combustion Systems
- Innovations in burners, furnaces, and industrial-scale combustion technologies.
- Deflagration and Detonation
- Studies on deflagration and detonation;
- Applications in propulsion systems, energy generation, and safety in industrial processes.
- Energy Storage and Conversion
- Applications of combustion in hybrid systems, fuel cells, and energy recovery technologies.
We welcome submissions including theoretical, computational, experimental, and applied approaches to showcase the latest advancements and emerging trends in combustion science and engineering.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
