Advances in Fluid Dynamics and Thermal Transport in Geothermal Energy Systems

Dear Colleagues,

At present, the exploration and optimization of geothermal energy systems are critical to advancing sustainable and renewable energy solutions globally. Geothermal reservoirs present unique challenges and opportunities for efficient energy extraction, requiring a deep understanding of fluid dynamics and thermal transport processes.

This Special Issue aims to bring together innovative research that enhances our knowledge of these complex interactions within geothermal systems. By fostering a multidisciplinary approach, we seek to address the current challenges in geothermal energy extraction and contribute to developing more efficient and sustainable technologies.

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

1. Fundamental mechanisms of fluid flow in geothermal reservoirs;
2. Heat transfer processes, including conduction, convection, and advection;
3. Advanced methods for geothermal reservoir characterization and modeling;
4. Enhancements in geothermal systems (EGSs) through techniques such as hydraulic fracturing, thermal stimulation, and chemical treatments;
5. Environmental impacts and mitigation strategies associated with geothermal energy extraction;
6. Economic analyses and scalability potential of geothermal energy projects.

We encourage authors to submit original research, reviews, and case studies that provide significant insights and advancements in geothermal energy 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-anonymized 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.
