Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fluid flow and transport processes are fundamental to the analysis, design, and optimization of modern energy and environmental systems. Across a broad range of applications, system performance is governed by momentum transfer, heat transfer, mass transfer, single-phase and two-phase flow, interfacial transport, phase change, reactive transport, and coupled thermal-fluid behaviors. These issues arise in carbon capture, utilization, and storage, hydrogen production and utilization, compact heat exchangers, thermal management systems, waste heat recovery, energy storage technologies, nuclear and advanced energy systems, marine energy systems, and related environmental processes.
In this Special Issue, “Advances in Fluid Flow and Transport Processes for Energy and Environmental Systems”, we aim to publish high-quality original research and review articles on the fundamental mechanisms, modeling methods, and engineering applications of fluid-flow-related and transport-related processes in energy and environmental fields. Contributions may be theoretical, experimental, numerical, or data-driven, provided that fluid flow, transport behavior, interfacial phenomena, or thermal-fluid processes form a central part of the study.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following.
(1) Fluid flow, heat transfer, and mass transfer in energy and environmental systems.
(2) Single-phase flow, two-phase flow, and interfacial transport.
(3) Phase change heat transfer and thermal energy storage.
(4) Reactive transport and coupled thermal-fluid processes.
(5) Computational fluid dynamics, multiphysics simulation, and reduced-order modeling.
(6) Transport in porous, heterogeneous, and fractured media.
(7) Compact heat exchangers, enhanced heat transfer, and thermal management.
(8) Hydrogen production, reforming, fuel cells, and related flow and transport processes.
(9) Waste heat recovery, process thermal integration, and energy-efficient thermal-fluid processes.
(10) Fluid flow and transport processes in nuclear, marine, and advanced energy systems.
(11) Carbon capture, utilization, and storage, subsurface flow, and environmental transport processes.
(12) Industrial and environmental applications in which fluid flow or transport mechanisms govern process performance.
This Special Issue seeks to bring together contributions that advance the understanding and application of fluid flow and transport processes across diverse energy and environmental technologies.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes 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 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.
