Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global shift toward net-zero power and propulsion has driven the development of safer, cleaner, and more efficient gas turbines. With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, data-driven methods now enable our community to push gas turbine performance further, achieving greater stability, efficiency, and sustainability. These advancements are complemented by progress in novel design concepts, simulation techniques, measurement technologies, and data-driven approaches for gas turbines.
This Special Issue presents the most recent advancements in gas turbine technology, including the fundamental mechanisms of heat and fluid flow, design philosophies, design methods, simulation methods, control methods, and the performance optimization of gas turbine compressors, combustors, and turbines.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Gas turbine cycle innovation;
- Turbomachinery aerothermodynamics;
- Combustion science and technology;
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for gas turbine and its components;
- Reduced-order simulation for gas turbine and its components;
- Data-driven methods for gas turbine and its components;
- Design optimization of gas turbine and its components;
- Measurement techniques for gas turbine and its components;
- Mechanism of heat and fluid flow in gas turbine and its components.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
