Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heat transfer and fluid mechanics are vital aspects of engineering, making it possible to build, improve, and run energy systems, industrial processes, and new technologies. These fields are crucial to addressing difficulties in energy efficiency, sustainability, and environmental impact. Furthermore, new developments in computer tools, experimental methods, and theoretical knowledge have made it possible to propose novel ideas and uses therein.
The goal of this Special Issue is to showcase and inform on the most recent progress in the theory, design, modelling, use, and improvement of heat transfer and fluid mechanics.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based modelling;
- Heat transfer in renewable energy systems (solar, geothermal, wind, etc.);
- Energy storage and cooling systems that use phase-change materials (PCMs);
- Thermal control in micro- and nanoscale systems;
- Fluid–structure interaction and turbulence modelling;
- Improving energy systems and heat exchangers;
- Environmental applications, including pollutant dispersion and thermal pollution control.
- Experimental innovations in thermal-fluid research;
- Incorporation of machine learning in heat transfer and fluid dynamics.

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.
