Numerical Modeling of Sustainable Energy Conversion Processes

Dear Colleagues,

With the recent progress in numerical methods and available computational resources, the role of numerical modelling in the design process of energy conversion systems has become more prominent. Numerical modelling provides detailed information on the underlying complexities of coupled phenomena in energy conversion processes that are not otherwise readily accessible with experimental measurements. Taking advantage of AI and machine learning approaches, the accessibility, validity, and trustworthiness of numerical models are improving. At the same time, improvements in numerical methods decreases their computational cost. This has enhanced the role of numerical modelling in the overall design of more sustainable energy conversion systems. Therefore, the current Special Issue of Sustainability aims at being a place to report recent advances in numerical modeling of the field of energy conversion and sustainability. The possible topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Computational fluid dynamics (CFD);
• Turbulence modeling;
• Numerical modeling of multiphase flow modelling;
• Numerical modelling of fluidization;
• Numerical modeling of thermal radiation;
• Numerical modeling of heat and mass transfer;
• Application of artificial intelligence and machine learning in modelling of energy conversion processes;
• Fire dynamics modelling.

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. Sustainability 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.
