Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advancements in thermodynamics have been realized through improved computational methods and novel numerical approaches. Recently, there has been significant progress in theoretical modeling and simulation techniques. These developments can be characterized by combining fundamental thermodynamic principles with advanced numerical methods and computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Examples include multi-physics simulations, finite element analysis, molecular dynamics, and various optimization algorithms. These advances in computational methods enable higher accuracy and improved prediction capabilities, thus enhancing our understanding of complex thermodynamic systems.
This Special Issue on "Advances in Engineering Thermodynamics and Numerical Simulation" seeks high-quality works focusing on the latest theoretical and computational developments for thermal systems. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and heat transfer applications;
- Advanced thermodynamic modeling and simulation techniques;
- Novel numerical methods for thermal system analysis and optimization;
- Process simulation, industrial applications, and thermal system design.

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.
