Advances in Simulation of Fluid Flow Dynamics in Porous and Fractured Media

Dear Colleagues,

Fluid flow dynamics in porous and fractured media play a significant role in many fields, such as CO₂ sequestration, enhanced oil recovery and fuel cells, to name but a few. With the development of computer science and numerical techniques, the numerical simulation, as an important approach, has received increasing attention in the study of the fluid flows in porous and fractured media. However, due to the complexity of the pore structure of porous media, the transport process is very complicated. To explore the transport mechanism of fluid flows in porous and fractured media, the development of more advanced numerical methods is desirable, and the performance of numerical simulations is necessary to understand the complex transport process. This Special Issue aims to cover recent advances in fluid flow simulations in porous and fractured media. 

We invite you to submit original research articles, case studies, and review papers to address the most significant challenges in the simulation of fluid flow dynamics in porous and fractured media. Submissions on, but are not limited to, the topics listed below 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 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.
