Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Steam–water two-phase flows play a crucial role in various industrial processes and energy systems, making research in this area vital for achieving sustainability goals. Here are some key areas where steam–water two-phase flow research can contribute to sustainability. Optimizing steam–water two-phase flows in power plants, desalination plants, and industrial processes can lead to significant energy savings and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Research on flow patterns, heat transfers, and pressure drops can help improve the system’s efficiency and reduce energy consumption. As renewable energy sources such as concentrated solar power (CSP) and geothermal energy gain prominence, understanding the dynamics of steam–water two-phase flows is essential for efficient heat transfer and power generation. Moreover, research can help overcome challenges related to flow instabilities and thermal stresses in these systems.
Steam–water two-phase flows are crucial in water treatment processes, such as desalination and wastewater treatment. Research can lead to more energy-efficient and cost-effective treatment technologies, making a contribution to sustainable water management. In nuclear power plants, steam–water two-phase flows essential components in heat removal and safety systems. Research can improve the understanding of flow behavior under various conditions, enhancing nuclear safety and reducing the risk of accidents.
By advancing our knowledge in these areas, steam–water two-phase flow research can pave the way for more sustainable and efficient energy systems, water management practices, and industrial processes, ultimately supporting a more sustainable future.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
