Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
High-speed wall-bounded flows play a key role in aerospace applications, such as unmanned supersonic/hypersonic vehicles, scramjets, advanced space aircraft, and propulsion systems. The development of an extremely thin boundary layer plus the abrupt changes in the wall on the freestream flow parameters result in high momentum/thermal gradients with a significant impact on the transport phenomena. Hypersonic flows are energetic and result in regions of high temperature, causing internal energy excitation and aerothermodynamics problems. Therefore, the acquired knowledge of the physics behind high-speed boundary layers can lead to the development of more efficient turbulence modeling or control techniques for aerodynamic heating. The “rejuvenation” of high-speed aerodynamics, space exploration, and military technology advances has introduced a pressing responsibility on the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) community to achieve high fidelity results in higher Reynolds and Mach numbers and evermore complex geometries, not to mention the optimal design of thrust generation systems.
The Special Issue “High-Speed Aerodynamics and High Energy and Efficiency Aerospace Propulsion System: Modeling and Optimization” is focused on documenting innovative developments in the fields of high-speed fluid dynamics related to external and internal fluid flows for aerospace applications and basic research. Suggested topics include (but are not fixed):
- Spatially developing turbulent boundary layer (SDTBL);
- Jet in crossflow problem (JICF);
- DNS/LES/RANS;
- High-speed aerodynamics of vehicles;
- Boundary layer transport phenomena;
- Shock wave boundary layer interactions (SWBLIs);
- Rarefied flows;
- Propulsion system analysis;
- Combustion modeling;
- Parallel and GPU programming in CFD;
- Coherent structure analysis.

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.
