Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Internal combustion engines are achieving high-efficiency clean emissions thanks to advances in novel experimental and CFD modelling. Even though some level of electrification of vehicle system is inevitable, we believe the internal combustion engine will be the primary power source for transportation system in the future. Based on recent understandings of spray and combustion process in the engine, it is believed thermal efficiency over 50% can be accomplished. Many of fundamental studies related to high-speed optical imaging on internal/external nozzle flow, advance diagnostics using laser and x-ray and 3D computational modelling have been carried out to support engine design and development.
This special issue invites contributions from both experimental and computational approaches in the topic of fuel sprays and combustion characterization for internal combustion engines. This topic is applied in the field of conventional automotive engine, gas turbine, and rig test under relevant ambient conditions. Both original research paper as well as review article are welcome.

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.
