Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my immense pleasure to announce the launch of a Special Issue of Energies entitled “Computational Fluids Dynamics in Energy Conversion and Heat Transfer”. The tremendous development of computational resources in the past few decades has made CFD a powerful tool for analysing thermodynamic systems. The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a platform for high-quality original research articles on the theoretical foundations and applications of computational fluid dynamics.
The inherent complexities of dynamical systems often demand a computational approach to analyse the underlying physics. Developing numerical techniques pertinent to the transport process in such systems is, therefore, equally essential. The scope of this Special Issue covers, but is not limited to, the fluid flow and heat transfer problems concerning the following branches of engineering and science: aeronautical, civil, chemical, mechanical, geophysical, and oceanographic. Research contributions that broaden our understanding of thermal management devices and energy conversion techniques would also be of particular interest.

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.
