Numerical Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of Gas Hydrate Kinetics and Thermodynamics

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editor is inviting submissions to this Special Issue of Energies titled “Numerical Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of Gas Hydrate Kinetics and Thermodynamics”. Numerical research into gas hydrate kinetics and thermodynamics is an invaluable supplement to experimental and field studies as it allows researchers to explore concepts that might not otherwise be accessible. Numerical studies can also shed additional light on the mechanistic aspects of gas hydrate formation, agglomeration, and/or dissociation. researchers to examine. Moreover, there is still much to discover about the thermodynamics and kinetics of semi-clathrates, which are closely related to gas hydrates.

This Special Issue will deal with the numerical modeling, simulation, and optimization of gas hydrate kinetics and thermodynamics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Molecular dynamic studies of gas hydrate nucleation, growth, agglomeration, or dissociation;
• Simulation of gas production from underground deposits of natural gas hydrate;
• Flow assurance simulations;
• Geomechanical simulations;
• Computation of phase equilibria;
• Applications of numerical mathematics for interpreting experimental results.

I look forward to your contributions.

Dr. Matthew Clarke
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-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.
