Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The guest editor of this Special Issue of Energies invites submissions on “Multi-Scale Energy Management Strategies Toward High-Efficiency and Low-Carbon Aero Engines” This Special Issue aims to collect high-quality research and advanced engineering practices that address the growing demand for aero engines with improved efficiency, reduced energy consumption, and significantly lower carbon emissions. From the perspective of energy efficiency, the integrated consideration of cooling and aerodynamic performance across multiple scales has become a key enabler for next-generation aero engine design.
Contributions to this Special Issue are expected to focus on the coupling mechanisms between cooling and aerodynamics from an energy viewpoint, revealing how thermal management strategies influence aerodynamic losses, flow structures, and overall energy efficiency. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, low-energy-consumption and high-efficiency cooling technologies, quantitative evaluation of their energy benefits, and innovative cooling concepts that achieve performance enhancements with minimal energy penalties.
In addition, this Special Issue welcomes studies on the collaborative control of energy losses in aerodynamic design, emphasizing the synergistic optimization of flow losses, heat transfer, and pressure at the component and stage levels. Research addressing aero engine system integration and energy trade-off optimization is also encouraged, including multi-physics coupling, component–system interactions, and multi-objective optimization under realistic operating conditions.
This Special Issue seeks to provide a dedicated platform for researchers and engineers to exchange insights, develop integrated methodologies, and advance multi-scale energy management strategies that support the development of high-efficiency, low-carbon aero engines through coordinated cooling and aerodynamic performance optimization.

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.
