Multiphase Flow, Heat Mass Transfer and Energy Conversion

Dear Colleagues,

Multiphase flow, heat and mass transfer, and energy conversion are central topics in modern energy, thermal engineering, and environmental systems. They play essential roles in a wide range of applications, including advanced energy systems, nuclear reactors, thermal equipment, chemical and process industries, environmental fluid systems, and emerging low-carbon energy technologies. As energy systems continue to evolve toward higher efficiency, greater safety, and lower emissions, there is a growing need for deeper understanding and more accurate prediction of complex transport phenomena involving phase interactions, interfacial dynamics, heat and mass exchange, and coupled energy conversion processes.

Recent progress in experimental diagnostics, theoretical analysis, numerical modelling, and simulation technologies has significantly advanced these fields. New developments in two-phase flow experimentation and modelling, thermal–hydraulic analysis, scaling methodologies, and high-fidelity simulation tools are improving our ability to investigate complex multiphase transport processes under realistic operating conditions. At the same time, these advances are supporting the design, optimization, and safety evaluation of advanced thermal systems, including nuclear reactor systems and equipment, as well as new energy conversion technologies.

This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the latest advances in multiphase flow, heat and mass transfer, and energy conversion, with emphasis on both fundamental mechanisms and engineering applications. Original research and review articles are welcome.

The topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

• Gas–liquid two-phase flow and heat transfer characteristics;
• Multiphase flow experimentation and modelling;
• Heat and mass transfer in complex thermal systems;
• Thermal–hydraulic analysis of advanced nuclear reactor systems and equipment;
• Scaling analysis and similarity methodologies;
• Development of new experimental techniques for thermal-fluid systems;
• Advanced numerical and simulation technologies for multiphase transport;
• Energy conversion processes involving phase change and interfacial transport;
• Bio-fuel engine technologies and related thermal-fluid phenomena;
• Coupled transport phenomena in energy and power systems.

We look forward to receiving your contributions to this Special Issue.
