Interests: experimental and numerical study of turbulent and turbulent-like flows in the environmental, civil, industrial, and biomedical fields (among others: turbulent jets and plumes, interaction of breakwaters with waves, in vitro cardiovascular flows); urban microclimate design (air quality, pollutant dispersion, outdoor human comfort, and energetic optimization in the built environment); sea discharges (study and optimization of diffusers and outfalls for sea discharge of pollutants, such as brine from desalination plants); design and development of non-intrusive image-based velocity, acceleration, and concentration measurement techniques for turbulent flows; flow modeling and control for mixing optimization; bio-fluid dynamics (laboratory simulation of cardiac flows and flow in the human eye)

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Turbulent Flow Simulations”. Turbulence is still an unsolved issue with enormous implications on energy consumption reductions and efficient use of energy. This is true in several fields, from the turbulent wakes on moving objects to the accumulation of heat in the built environment or the optimization of the performances of heat exchangers or mixers. For these reasons, recent advances on turbulent flow simulations, via both laboratory and numerical modeling, can lead to new advances in the knowledge of the problem and, as a consequence, to the optimization on the use of energy.
This Special Issue will deal with novel techniques for turbulent flow simulations and with simulations of topics of interest for the Energies community. Topics of interest for publication include but are not limited to:
- Experimental and numerical simulations of turbulent flows in the environmental, civil, and industrial fields;
- Laboratory simulations and measurement techniques;
- Numerical simulation techniques for turbulent flows;
- Urban microclimate design;
- Turbulent flow control;
- Drag and wake reduction;
- Optimization of mixers and/or heat exchangers;
- Jets and plumes.

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.
