Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to introduce this Special Issue, “Fluid Dynamics and Thermodynamic Studies in Gas Turbine”. These devices have the principal function of converting the energy stored in a fuel into mechanical work to drive machinery or to produce electricity. Gas turbine research related to improving efficiency, emission reduction, cooling blade technologies, cogeneration, and post-combustion CO2 capture, among others, could contribute to reducing CO2 emissions.
This Special Issue aims to collect recent and original contributions on advances in fluid dynamics and thermodynamic studies in gas turbines. Some topics included are the following:
- Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis;
- Fluid structure interaction studies;
- NOx emission investigation
- Thermodynamic, economic, or optimization studies;
- Advances in thermodynamics cycle for gas turbines;
- Advances in design and control;
- Thermodynamic or aerodynamic loss estimation;
- Costs and life cycle assessment;
- Failure analysis;
- Noise control and environmental impact;
- Predictive maintenance and damage detection in gas turbines;
- Cogeneration analysis or gas turbines integrated with post-combustion CO2 capture 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 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. 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.
