Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been firmly established as a fundamental discipline to advancing research on energy engineering. The major progresses achieved during the last two decades both on software modeling capabilities and hardware computing power have resulted in a considerable and wide spread of CFD interest among scientist and engineers. Numerical modeling and simulation developments are increasingly contributing to the current state of the art in many energy engineering aspects, such as power generation, combustion, wind energy, concentrated solar power, hydro power, gas and steam turbines, fuel cells, and many others. As an example, over 1000 journal publications are published every year with the latest scientific developments and applictions of CFD in energy engineering.
This Special Issue on “CFD Applications in Energy Engineering Research and Simulation” aims at providing the latest significant advances in the applications of computational fluid dynamics in energy engineering. Topics include but are not limited to:
- CFD fundamentals;
- CFD applications in power generation;
- CFD applications in renewable energies; and
- CFD applications in combustion, heat transfer, and rotating machinery.

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.
