Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Multiphase flow in porous media is an important component of fluid mechanics. The phenomenon of multiphase porous flow exists in many engineering applications such as oil and gas field development, soil salinization control, the geological storage of petroleum and carbon dioxide, and even fluid transfer in chemical industries and the bodies of animals and plants. In recent years, with the development of experimental testing methods, computer technology, and interdisciplinary research, multiphase porous flow mechanics have made significant progress in experiments, theory, simulation, and engineering applications, especially in the areas of multiscale flow, phase change control, and efficient numerical simulation.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the latest advancements in the field of multiphase porous flow and explore future development directions.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Existence and characterization of multiphase fluids in micro-nanopores;
- Phase transition mechanism and mathematical modeling;
- Influence of temperature and stress on multiphase porous flow;
- Multiphase porous flow in ultra-deep oil and gas reservoirs;
- New technology and application of fluid phase change control;
- Multiphase porous flow-related enhanced oil recovery;
- Ice water phase transition in permafrost engineering;
- Water gas seepage in unsaturated soil;
- Gas water two-phase seepage in solid waste engineering;
- Software development and numerical simulation of multiphase flow;
- Numerical simulation and software development;
- Artificial intelligence and big data 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. 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.
