Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide comprehensive coverage of cutting-edge research on the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in energy engineering and chemical engineering. CFD is a powerful tool that is widely used to address challenges in energy systems, including renewable energy technologies, energy storage, and combustion processes, as well as in chemical engineering applications, such as reactor design, mixing phenomena, and multiphase flows.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, published in Applied Sciences (ISSN 2076-3417). This Special Issue aligns with the journal's mission to provide an advanced forum for applied natural sciences by encouraging the submission of detailed experimental and theoretical studies, with an emphasis on reproducibility and transparency.
We welcome contributions that showcase advancements in both fundamental and applied CFD studies, including novel methodologies such as reactive flow simulations, turbulence modeling, and the integration of machine learning with CFD. Submissions featuring industrial case studies and experimental validation are particularly encouraged. This Special Issue aims to emphasize the transformative impact of CFD on improving energy efficiency, reducing emissions, and fostering the development of innovative technologies for a sustainable future.

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. Applied Sciences 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 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.
