Design of High-Temperature Gas Turbines

Dear Colleagues,

The design of high-temperature gas turbines represents a critical frontier in engineering, with wide-ranging applications across industries such as power generation, aviation, and industrial processes. As the global demand for energy continues to rise, there is a pressing need for innovative approaches to enhance the efficiency, reliability, and environmental sustainability of gas turbine technology. By fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange in these key areas, this initiative intends to drive advancements in high-temperature gas turbine designs, thereby contributing to the development of more efficient, reliable, and environmentally sustainable energy solutions for the future.

This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to explore and share the latest theoretical and engineering achievements in high-temperature gas turbine designs. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

1. Advanced Combustion Systems: investigating novel combustion technologies and techniques to improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and optimize performance under extreme operating conditions.
2. Alternative Fuels: exploring the utilization of alternative and renewable fuels, such as hydrogen, biofuels, and synthetic fuels, to mitigate environmental impact and promote sustainable energy solutions.
3. Thermal Management: addressing challenges related to heat transfer, thermal stress, and cooling strategies within gas turbines to enhance overall efficiency and reliability.
4. Materials Innovation: advancing materials science to develop high-temperature-resistant materials and coatings that are capable of withstanding harsh operating environments and extending turbine lifespan.
5. Control and Monitoring Systems: developing advanced control algorithms, predictive maintenance techniques, and real-time monitoring systems to optimize gas turbine operations and ensure safe and efficient performance.
6. System Integration: integrating gas turbine systems with emerging technologies such as digital twins, the Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI) to enable predictive maintenance, remote monitoring, and adaptive control strategies.
