Heat Transfer and Advanced Combustion in Gas Turbines

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to explore the advancements and challenges in heat transfer and combustion aspects of gas turbines, with a focus on innovative techniques and technologies. Gas turbines play a pivotal role in various industries, including power generation, aviation, and oil and gas, and improving their performance and efficiency is of utmost importance. This Special Issue invites researchers and practitioners to contribute their original research, review articles, and case studies related to heat transfer and advanced combustion in gas turbines. The goal is to provide a platform for sharing knowledge, experiences, and novel insights into enhancing energy conversion, reducing emissions, and optimizing the overall performance of gas turbines.

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:

1. Advanced cooling techniques for gas turbine components;
2. Heat transfer phenomena and analysis in gas turbine systems;
3. Combustion dynamics and modelling in gas turbines;
4. Combustion stability and control strategies;
5. Novel materials and coatings for improved heat transfer;
6. Numerical simulations and experimental investigations;
7. Integration of renewable fuels and alternative energy sources;
8. Heat recovery and waste heat utilization.

By addressing these and related topics, this Special Issue aims to foster interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations among researchers, engineers, and industry experts. It also intends to contribute to the development of more efficient and sustainable gas turbine technologies. Researchers are encouraged to submit their contributions that push the boundaries of knowledge and propose innovative approaches to address the challenges faced in heat transfer and advanced combustion in gas turbines.
