Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the accelerated global energy transition, the development of advanced energy systems such as fuel cells, lithium-ion/solid-state batteries, concentrated solar power, advanced nuclear reactors, and carbon capture and storage systems has become a key solution to achieving energy security and addressing climate change. However, the transport processes of mass, momentum, energy, and charge within the above systems involve multiscale and multiphysics coupling, which are extremely complex and challenging to understand. Finally, it directly determines efficiency, lifespan, safety, and cost-effectiveness of the above systems.
This Special Issue provides an international platform for scholars in the field to exchange ideas, share cutting-edge methods and engineering applications, and jointly promote breakthroughs in advanced energy technologies. Contributions may cover, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Electrochemical energy systems: ion/electron conduction, charge transfer, thermal management, and gas diffusion layer transport in lithium-ion/metal batteries, solid-state batteries and fuel cells.
- Renewable energy systems: radiative heat transfer and molten salt convection in concentrated solar energy, flow field simulation of wind turbines, and seepage and heat transfer in geothermal systems.
- Advanced nuclear energy systems: flow and heat transfer of coolant in the reactor core, simulation of fuel rod behavior, and mass and heat transfer in nuclear waste geological disposal facilities.
- Carbon capture, utilization and storage: multi-component reaction streams in absorption towers/adsorbers and the migration and storage process of CO2 in underground saline water layers.
- Hydrogen energy system: The complex flow and phase transition during the production, storage, transportation, and refueling of hydrogen gas.
- New energy conversion and storage systems: coupling transport processes in phase change thermal storage, liquid flow batteries, and thermophotovoltaic systems.

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. Computation is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.
