Advanced Multiphase Flow and Heat Transfer in Porous Media 2023—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit your valuable research work to this Special Issue on multiphase flow and heat transfer in porous media.

A porous material is a pore-based multiphase domain that consists of solid, liquid, and gas (air and vapour). Mathematical modelling of multiphase transport phenomena in porous media is an effective way to understand the simultaneous heat and mass transfer processes during processing and optimise energy efficiency. The development of a multiphase porous media model is challenging, and rigorous work and therefore significant scientific effort is required to advance this field.

The aim of this Special Issue is to publish the potential research outcomes addressing the current status and challenges of multiphase porous media modelling for predicting the simultaneous heat and mass transport phenomena and process kinetics. We invite original research papers, comprehensive reviews, and short communications addressing the current challenges faced in developing multiphase porous media modelling. Topics include but are not limited to the experimental understanding and numerical modelling of porous media such as food, wood, paper, soil, rocks, and agri-based product processing. Modelling includes physics-based modelling, empirical modelling, and statistical or machine learning-based modelling to address the multiphase flow and heat transfer in porous media. Experimental works for characterising the porous material at different length scales from macro- to nanoscale are also welcome for submission to this Special Issue.

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. Energies 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 2600 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.
