Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is my great pleasure to invite you to the third International Conference on Energy, Material Science, and Environmental Engineering (ICEMSEE 2022, http://www.icemsee.com), organized by the Yaseen Academy and to be held on 19–21 August 2022 at the International Academic Exchange Center, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China.

The conference calls for significant contributions in all major fields of energy, material science, and environmental engineering from theoretical and practical aspects, aiming to provide a platform for researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry to meet and share cutting-edge developments in the field.

ICEMSEE 2022 welcomes the participation and submission of high-quality manuscripts falling into the scope of the Coatings journal to be considered for publishing in this Special Issue. Scholars who do not plan to participate in the conference are also welcome to submit their papers.

The major topics covered in ICEMSEE 2022 include, but are not limited to, the following:

(1) Energy systems and green energy;

(2) Advanced materials and applications;

(3) Environmental engineering and protection.

For more detailed information, please visit the CALL FOR PAPERS page:

On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to cordially invite you to participate in the ICEMSEE 2022 event.

Warm regards,

Prof. Dr. Jinyang Xu
Guest Editor

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. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

The sedimentation basin is an important part of hydraulic engineering. Because the prototype size is too large and not easy to analyze, Mike 21 has the advantages of easy input, conversion, analysis, and demonstration of data results, which are flexible and convenient; however, this method has not been used in hydraulic engineering by previous researchers. This research used the sedimentation basin of the Yellow River Diversion Project as the research object, and a simulation model of the sedimentation basin channel #1 was developed using Mike 21 software to analyze its water and sediment characteristics and conditions in different periods. Using numerical simulation methods, three types of sedimentation basin operation schemes were targeted, the sedimentation changes and sedimentation law of channel #1 were evaluated in each scheme, and the sedimentation effects were compared. The results show that in conditions of different incoming water and sediment and diversion timings during the flood and non-flood seasons, the sedimentation basin adopts an operation scheme to lower the outlet water level, and the siltation volumes are 180,000 and 150,000 m3 lower than the high-outlet water levels, respectively. Moreover, its siltation status is significantly improved, which can effectively extend the service life of the sedimentation basin, prolong the period of silting removal by about 3.5 months, and provide a scientific basis and reference for the optimization of the operation mode of the sedimentation basin in other types of hydraulic engineering.

Thermal barrier coating is critical for thermal insulation technology, making the underlying base metal capable of operating at a melting temperature of 1150 °C. By increasing the temperature of incoming gases, engineers can improve the thermal and mechanical performance of gas turbine blades and the piston cylinder arrangement. Recent developments in the field of thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have made this material suitable for use in a variety of fields, including the aerospace and diesel engine industries. Changes in the turbine blade microstructure brought on by its operating environment determine how long and reliable it will be. In addition, the effectiveness of multi-layer, composite and functionally graded coatings depends heavily on the deposition procedures used to create them. This research aims to clarify the connection between workplace conditions, coating morphology and application methods. This article presents a high-level overview of the many coating processes and design procedures employed for TBCs to enhance the coating’s surface quality. To that end, this review is primarily concerned with the cultivation, processing and characteristics of engineered TBCs that have aided in the creation of specialized coatings for use in industrial settings.
