Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue dedicated to the latest advancements in experiments and modeling in combustion processes. This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research in combustion science, with a focus on innovative experimental techniques and sophisticated modeling methodologies that deepen our understanding of complex combustion phenomena.
Key topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Development and validation of combustion experimental platforms;
- Laminar and turbulent combustion experiment and modeling;
- Modeling of alternative fuel combustion (ammonia, hydrogen, biomass, metal fuels, etc.);
- Reactive flow simulation and combustion kinetics modeling;
- Multi-scale and multi-physics modeling of combustion processes;
- Experimental and numerical study of combustion in harsh environments;
- Combustion modeling for engines and gas turbines;
- Catalytic combustion experiments and reaction mechanism modeling;
- Emission formation mechanisms: experiments and predictive modeling;
- Novel computational tools and experimental techniques for combustion research.
We invite researchers from academia, industry, and government laboratories to contribute original research articles, review papers, and short communications presenting novel experimental designs, advanced modeling strategies, groundbreaking findings, and significant advances in the understanding of combustion processes. Submissions that integrate experimental data with numerical modeling for model validation and mechanism refinement are particularly encouraged.
The aim of this Special Issue is to foster interdisciplinary discussions, promote the integration of experimental and modeling research, and facilitate collaboration among researchers worldwide in the broad field of combustion science. Contributions are welcome from experts across a range of disciplines, including chemical, mechanical, and aerospace engineering, applied physics, computational science, and chemistry.

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 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.
