Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to summit original research to this Special Issue. Fire, an elemental force of nature, has been integral to human civilization for millennia. From its early use as a source of warmth and protection to its role in cooking, metallurgy, and energy generation, fire has shaped the course of human development. The science and technology surrounding fire and flame encompass a range of disciplines, including chemistry, physics, engineering, and environmental science. Understanding these fundamental principles is crucial not only for harnessing fire's benefits but also for mitigating its risks.
This Special Issue aims to gather and disseminate cutting-edge research findings, reviews, and insights related to the science and technology of fire and flame. The Special Issue seeks to enhance the understanding of combustion processes, improve fire safety, and develop innovative technologies for fire prevention and control. It aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration among researchers, engineers, and practitioners in the field.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: combustion science, fire dynamics, fire safety engineering, sustainable combustion technologies, fire suppression systems, theoretical and computational modeling of flame dynamics, studies on flame propagation, stability and extinction, innovations in clean combustion technologies to reduce emissions, alternative fuels and their combustion characteristics, and the integration of renewable energy resources in combustion processes.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Changxiao Shao
Guest Editor
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. Fire is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
