Experimental and Numerical Studies on Coupled Physical–Chemical Field of Turbulent Combustion of Low- to Zero-Carbon Fuels

Dear Colleagues,

Decarbonizing various sectors using low- to net-zero- or even zero-carbon fuels is one of the significant challenges of transitioning to a zero-carbon era. Therefore, it is necessary to consider several scenarios and propose options with higher possibilities and viability for further consideration. Also, major combustion-based systems applied in practical applications work at the turbulent regime in which complex interactions between fluid flow and combustion chemistry time scales play a crucial role in controlling the process. In this regard, understanding the physico-chemistry of low- to zero-carbon fuels at turbulent combustion regimes is critical in applying the fuels in practical applications. Hence, further experimental and numerical studies in the field are required to bring the proposed low-emission fuels to the market. Therefore, deep diving into further understanding the physico-chemical characteristics of the fuels in all gaseous, liquid, and solid forms is essential regarding their heat transfer characteristics, ignition, combustion, explosion, and safety issues for future industrial applications.

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.
