Modelling and Analysis of Internal Combustion Engines

Dear Colleagues,

Internal combustion engines (ICEs) remain integral to modern transportation and power generation, regardless of the growing interest in alternative energy systems. Advances in modelling, simulation, and analysis techniques have significantly enhanced the performance, efficiency, and environmental sustainability of ICEs. However, challenges such as emission reduction, fuel efficiency optimization, and integration with hybrid and renewable energy systems persist. This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research that addresses these problems via innovative computational and experimental approaches.

We would like to invite researchers and engineers to submit their latest findings to this Special Issue, titled "Modelling and Analysis of Internal Combustion Engines". We seek to compile high-quality research that advances the understanding, design, and optimization of ICE systems, fostering sustainable and efficient engine technologies.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

1. Advanced modelling and simulation techniques;
2. Emission control and sustainable fuels;
3. Engine performance and optimization;
4. Hybrid and electrified powertrains.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Paulius Puzinauskas

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-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.
