Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
CFD simulation has become an inherent part of both research and engineering practice and has widely been applied to a broad range of problems in the energy engineering field as an advanced computational, supporting and decision-making tool in design, research and development, troubleshooting, optimization and virtual testing and prototyping. While CFD has already provided invaluable insights as a stand-alone computational tool, its capabilities are often extended by coupling with other simulation tools, methods and approaches, leading to an even better perspective over complex multi-physical engineering systems.
This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate recent advancements in CFD simulations applied in energy engineering research. It encompasses a broad range of topics, including advanced CFD modelling techniques used in simulations of various energy engineering technologies and the application of CFD within multi-physical simulations of energy engineering systems. Submissions that utilize artificial intelligence and machine learning in CFD simulations are particularly encouraged.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Advancements in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applied to solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, nuclear, combustion and gasification technologies;
- CFD-assisted design, troubleshooting and optimization of heat production, transfer and utilization units;
- Novel algorithms and approaches in CFD simulations applied to energy engineering problems;
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning in CFD applied to energy engineering problems;
- Uncertainty assessment of CFD simulations of energy engineering equipment.
