Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue dedicated to Advancements in Gas Turbine Aerothermodynamics. This collection aims to spotlight the latest breakthroughs and innovations that are shaping the future of gas turbine technology, which is a cornerstone of modern energy and propulsion systems.
In a world increasingly focused on mitigating climate change, gas turbine advancements hold immense potential for transforming the energy landscape. By pushing the boundaries of efficiency, reducing emissions, and harnessing new computational and experimental methodologies, researchers and engineers are driving the evolution of these complex systems toward a more sustainable future.
This Special Issue welcomes (but is not limited to) contributions that explore cutting-edge topics such as the following:
- Revolutionizing Numerical Methods: High-fidelity simulations, turbulence modeling, and advanced aerothermodynamic analyses that redefine our understanding of flow, heat transfer, and performance.
- Innovative Experimental Investigations: Experimental breakthroughs in flow dynamics, thermal management, combustion, and emissions that challenge conventional designs and validate novel concepts.
- Cooling and Combustion Game-Changers: Forward-looking strategies for blade cooling, efficient combustion, and performance optimization, aligning power output with environmental responsibility.
- Bridging the Gap with Hybrid Approaches: Synergistic methodologies combining experimental insights with numerical simulations for unparalleled predictive accuracy.
- AI-Powered Advancements: The transformative role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in revolutionizing turbine design, operational efficiency, and data-driven decision-making.
We look forward to receiving your submissions and sharing work that will shape the future of gas turbine aerothermodynamics. Let’s push the limits of what is possible together!

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.
