Advanced Modeling and Experimental Methods for Engine Combustion Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

Great advances in modeling and experiments have enabled a rapid increase in the level of our understanding of engine combustion. Due to this, in both compression ignition (CI) and spark ignition (SI) engines, we now understand much more of the in-cylinder phenomena as compared to the situation 20 years ago. On the other hand, despite the recent advent of electronic vehicles, we will still need internal combustion engines for a long time to come. In fact, the level and impact of engine-combustion-related research have been increasing—a trend that is also related to the great efforts and international collaboration within, for example, the Engine Combustion Network (ECN). Despite these extensive efforts and the international collaboration, there remain pending issues related to, e.g., combustion efficiency and emissions. These issues need to be resolved in order for next-generation CI and SI engines to gain public acceptance. This Special Issue will focus on both CI and SI combustion analyzed with advanced modeling and experimental methods.

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-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.
