Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of computer science and computing techniques, numerical simulation plays an increasingly important role in oil and gas storage and transportation engineering, aiding in the design phase, predicting the service conditions, and assisting during accident analyses. As a form of typical system engineering, oil and gas storage and transportation processes involve many disciplines, such as fluid dynamics, heat transfer, material mechanics, structural dynamics, automatic control, mechanical design, and economic analysis, among others. Therefore, the simulation of these processes requires various numerical techniques such as computational fluid dynamics (CFDs), computational structural dynamics (CSDs), computer-aided design (CAD), and control simulation, as well as their combinations. More recently, artificial intelligence (AI) attained rapid developments, becoming another tool for oil and gas storage and transportation engineering.
This Special Issue on “Numerical Simulation of Oil and Gas Storage and Transportation” seeks high-quality works focusing on the latest advances in numerical techniques and their applications in oil and gas storage and transportation. The topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Numerical simulation of long-distance crude/product oil pipelines or pipeline networks;
- Numerical simulation of long-distance natural gas pipelines or pipeline networks;
- Numerical simulation of gathering and transportation pipelines in oil and natural gas fields;
- Numerical simulation of oil and gas tank and underground oil and gas storage;
- Numerical simulation of storage and transportation of new energy media such as hydrogen, methanol, and carbon dioxide;
- Applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the numerical simulation of oil and gas storage and transportation.

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. Processes 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.
