Simulation and Modeling of Subsurface Energy Processes

Dear Colleagues,

The Guest Editors are inviting submissions to a Special Issue of Energies on the subject area of “Simulation and Modeling of Subsurface Energy Processes”. Numerical simulators are important tools for subsurface processes. In the oil and gas industry, reservoir simulators are used to history match and optimize production. With the worsening climate crisis, new computational techniques have been devoted to other areas of the subsurface energy, including geothermal and hydrogen storage.

This Special Issue invites contributions on novel numerical methods and computational frameworks for the improvement in performance and accuracy of subsurface processes. Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

• Advanced time and space discretization techniques;
• Solution schemes in reservoir simulation;
• Subsurface reactive flow;
• Geomechanics modeling and simulation;
• Fracture modeling;
• Multiphase flow in subsurface;
• Subsurface energy transport;
• Numerical methods on hydrogen storage;
• Numerical methods on CO₂ storage;

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.
