Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the field of fluid mechanics in which numerical approaches are used to study fluid flows in various configurations. Using CFD it is possible to explore complex problems linking fluid-gas, fluid-solid and fluid-fluid interactions. In most cases, the fluid flows are described mathematically by partial differential equations. CFD analyses are of great importance in the description of flow fields. For example, the areas of engineering where CFD evaluations are commonly used are hydrodynamics and aerodynamics, where quantities such as primitive variables such as pressure, velocity, temperature are obtained, drag and lift are derived. Weather modeling, the analysis of aerospace and aerodynamics, biological engineering, analysis of combustion, aspects of heat transfer, and environmental engineering, to name only a few, use of CFD is considered important. Particularly, modeling heat transfer via conduction, convection, and radiation remains a challenging task for researchers to examine thermal energy transport. In this regard, CFD analyses have the tremendous time saving ability in the design thermal processes and are therefore easier, quicker, and cheaper than traditional data acquisition assessments. Only a small number of quantities can be obtained at one time in real-life experiments, while all desired quantities can be rapidly calculated in a CFD analysis, often with high space and time resolution. This Special Issue invites researchers to come forward with their new original manuscripts based upon numerical modeling of heat transfer in various configurations having engineering standpoints.

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.
