Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Research and Development of Renewable Energy systems must be accelerated to reach the Net-Zero target by the second half of the century, and play a crucial role in limiting global warming. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) codes and software are now fully recognised as being important/necessary tools in all stages of a renewable energy system development, this includes design, prototyping, verification/certification, etc.
Wind, tidal/waves, geothermal, and solar have been identified as leading technology options to decarbonise the energy system worldwide. Authors are invited to submit research and progress related to the development and application of CFD for the design, study and/or optimization of existing and/or novel renewable energy systems. This Special Issue will thus feature original research papers and review articles in these areas, including but not limited to:
- Offshore/onshore wind energy,
- Tidal/wave renewable energy,
- Geothermal energy,
- Solar energy.

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.
