Heat and Thermal Fluid Flow for Advanced Aerospace Propulsion
This special issue belongs to the section “J2: Thermodynamics“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We kindly invite you to contribute an article to the Special Issue of the MDPI journal Energies on the topic “Heat and Thermal Fluid Flow for Advanced Aerospace Propulsion”. An understanding of the heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and combustion process via the utilization of theoretical analysis, experiments, and numerical simulations is important for the engineering application of next-generation energy and propulsion systems. This Special Issue focuses on the mechanisms of complex heat and thermal fluid flow, and the associated control methods for advanced aeroengines, such as combined cycle engines, scramjet engines, and detonation engines.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:
- Thermal analysis of advanced aeroengines;
- Mathematical modeling and numerical simulation of heat and thermal fluid flow;
- Multiphase flow and heat and mass transfer;
- Test and measurement technology of flow and combustion process;
- Heating and cooling methods of advanced engines;
- Control and organization methods for flow and combustion;
- New propellant technology for aerospace propulsion.

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.
