Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques have demonstrated their usefulness as indispensable tools for analyzing and optimizing complex systems involving fluid flows with heat and mass transfer. The global tendency to increase energy efficiency has fostered the use of more reliable and accurate tools such as CFD in order to model the heat transfer processes present in different engineering systems. The use of CFD is widespread, occurring in diverse engineering sectors such as energy generation systems, energy storage systems, propulsion systems, electronics, and HVAC systems.
In this Special Issue, we aim to present and disseminate recent advances in the use of CFD techniques for heat transfer modelling in engineering applications, with the purpose of considering the analysis and the improvement of their operation and performance at the component or system level. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Power generation systems.
- Thermal management of electronics.
- HVAC systems.
- Heat exchangers.
- Heat engines.
- Thermal storage systems.
- Chemical systems.
- Thermal energy efficiency.
- Building thermal systems.
- Combustion systems, including boilers and furnaces.
- CHP 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. 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.
