Advances in Modelling for Nuclear Science and Engineering

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to submit your original research or review papers to this Special Issue of Energies on “Advances in Modeling for Nuclear Science and Engineering”.

Computer models have played a central role in assessing the functioning of nuclear power facilities for decades. They have ensured that nuclear operations are efficient, but also safe to both the public and the environment. The field of nuclear engineering is complex and multi-physics in nature, spanning the fields of neutron transport, thermal hydraulics, structural mechanics, heat transfer, and chemistry. Robust, accurate, and validated models are essential to the areas of rector design, operation and procedure analysis, fuel optimization, and lifetime extension, among others. Nuclear engineering research has been a significant contributor to the field of numerical analysis and modeling by advancing areas in predictive multi-physics modeling, sensitivity and uncertainty quantification, high-fidelity discretizations, reduced-order models, artificial intelligence, and HPC.

This Special Issue aims to bring together studies describing recent advances in modeling methods for all areas in nuclear engineering applications. We welcome contributions from academia and industry in the aforementioned fields.

Dr. Andrew Buchan
Guest Editor

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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.
