Combustion Engine In-Cylinder Flow

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editors are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the topic “Combustion Engine In-cylinder Flow”. Air flow organization and air fuel mixing optimization are extremely important for the performance improvement and emission control of internal combustion engines. There have been many emerging techniques for engine in-cylinder flow design and modeling in recent years. Moreover, new approaches have been invented to measure the in-cylinder flow of combustion engines. Hence, the main gas motions in cylinders such as turbulence, swirl, squish, and tumble have been studied comprehensively.

This Special Issue will deal with technology progress and novel approaches for in-cylinder gas motion optimization of combustion engines. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

• Four-stroke engines;
• Spark-ignition engines;
• Compression-ignition engines;
• Cycle-to-cycle variations；
• In-cylinder flow field analysis;
• Combustion chamber designs;
• Direct numerical simulations;
• Large-eddy simulations;
• Air-fuel mixture formation;
• Stratified charge;
• Exhaust gas recirculation;
• Valve timing;
• Direct injection.

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.
