Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Jet flame is a crucial and highly destructive type of fire in the fields of industrial safety, combustion science, and energy engineering. Its unique turbulent combustion characteristics, complex interaction with air, and intense thermal radiation towards target objects pose significant research challenges. Even though some classical theories and models have been developed, jet fire combustion is still a complicated problem involving chemical reaction dynamics, mixing of fuel and air, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, etc. Consequently, the advanced analysis of jet flame and combustion deserves further investigation and deep discussion.
This Special Issue aims to gather the latest global research to deepen the understanding of the physical mechanisms of jet fire and promote its application in safety engineering. It mainly focuses on advanced analyses of fundamental and applied research of experiments, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulation that contribute to the knowledge on combustion behaviors, thermal disaster, fire control, and modeling of jet flame.
Original research articles, short communications, and review articles are welcome. The themes of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Fundamental mechanisms: turbulent combustion, flame stability, soot and radiation model;
- Experimental research: large/small-scale experiments, advanced diagnostic techniques;
- Numerical simulation: numerical techniques, modeling approaches;
- Industrial applications and safety: gas leakage fire, hydrogen, fire control.

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. 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.
