CFD Applications in Heat Transfer Research and Simulation

Dear Colleagues,

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been firmly established as a fundamental discipline for advancing research on heat transfer. The major progresses achieved during the last two decades, both in software modeling capabilities and hardware computing power, have resulted in a considerable and wide spread of CFD interest among scientists and engineers. Numerical modeling and simulation developments are increasingly contributing to the current state of the art in many heat transfer scientific and engineering aspects, such as electronics cooling, heat exchangers, power generation, combustion, concentrated solar power, gas and steam turbines, fuel cells, and many others. As an example, over 1000 journal publications are published every year with the latest scientific developments and applications of CFD for heat transfer research.

This Special Issue on “CFD Applications in Heat Transfer Research and Simulation” aims to provide the latest significant advances in the applications of computational fluid dynamics in heat transfer. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• CFD fundamentals;
• CFD applications in electronics cooling;
• CFD applications in heat exchangers;
• CFD applications in power generation, combustion, and rotating machinery;
• CFD simulations of devices and processes for heat transfer enhancement.

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. Processes 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.
