Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Topic Editors are pleased to invite submissions to a Topic entitled “Theoretical, Numerical and Experimental Studies on Clean Energy and Combustion, 2nd edition”. This topic is a continuation of the previous successful Topic “Theoretical, Numerical and Experimental Studies on Clean Energy and Combustion” (https://www.mdpi.com/topics/5G0ERDO7HU). This Topic is launched to address recent theoretical, numerical, and experimental advances in clean-combustion-related applications to address climate change concerns while taking advantage of the higher energy density of hydrocarbon and other fossil fuels compared to batteries. With the recent advancements in computational capacities and the widespread applications of machine learning in engineering problems, the role of numerical methods is becoming more and more important to improve existing models or develop new models that can help researchers to better understand the underlying physics of combustion, their interaction with other physical phenomena such as turbulence, and their impacts on the performance of the related applications at both fundamental and practical levels. This Topic aims to highlight the most recent advances in the development and application of such numerical methods, backed up with strong theories and/or experimental studies.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
