Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Today's challenges in energy and transportation require innovative vehicles, which can make better use of the energy (BEV) and fuel (HEV, FCEV) they use. 

Electrification is just one out of many possible answers: EVs are playing and will play a key role in that scenario, but innovation applied to vehicles also equipped with an ICE can help in the transition. Hydrogen technologies are also beginning to play an important role in automotive transformation. Hence, in this Special Issue, we are welcoming original contributions on:

  • Electrified architectures of vehicle powertrains;
  • Optimal sizing of the on-board energy storage system;
  • Optimized control of dynamics coupled to energy;
  • Fusion of various energy storage devices in complex storage systems;
  • Modeling and simulation of hybrid, hydrogen, and electric vehicles;
  • AI techniques to forecast energy demand on board and recharge patterns;
  • User demand impact on the optimal design of vehicles (urban vs. other types of mobility);
  • Evaluation of the impact of cooperative driving on energy consumption (vehicles and grid);
  • Effective use of the hydrogen system (fuel cell) in coupling it with the electric propulsion system.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

At present, two-stage centrifugal compressors based on air bearing and high-speed motor technology are widely used in automotive hydrogen fuel cells. The low-pressure stage and high-pressure stage of the compressor are directly connected through an interstage pipeline, thus the structure of the interstage pipeline has an important influence on the aerodynamic performance of the compressor. In this work, a two-stage compressor with three different interstage pipelines were investigated experimentally and numerically. Results show that affected by the interstage pipeline bend section, the flow distortion will be induced at the impeller inlet of the high-pressure stage, and the distortion intensity changes with the pipeline structure. Among the three models, the EPC (elbow pipe change) model induces the most intense total pressure distortion at the condition of 80 kr/min and 130% mass flow rate, resulting in an efficiency reduction of 2 and 1.5 percentage points compared with the SPC (straight pipe change) and the TPC (total pipe change) model, respectively. Further research indicates that the upstream distortion has obvious influence on the downstream rotor blades. As the blade height decreases, the load becomes more uniform on the main blades, while the load extremum migrates to the trailing edge on the splitter blades. Finally, three models are tested, and their performance is compared at three typical rotational speeds., It is recommended that interstage pipelines similar to SPC models should be chosen to improve the two-stage compressor efficiency in the design.
