Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Energy demands are increasing due to the increase in world population, which motivates the search for renewable and clean energy resources. Globally, people rely on diesel generators for their basic energy needs, which depend upon limited supplies of fossil fuel oil, causing huge greenhouse gas emissions, which damage trees, vegetation, and aquatic life. Rapid socioeconomic advancement, including population outgrowth, technological upgradation, trade, rising production, and expenditure, has led to much deeper interactions between the Earth and human beings. Accordingly, the fossil fuel reserves required for energy demand are diminishing quickly, which is a major world issue. The Earth has plentiful solar and wind resources that are clean and offer the potential for efficient, sustainable energy systems. Many researchers are undertaking research to identify and design low-cost, low-pollution renewable energy generation systems to mitigate energy problems and reduce the use of harmful and costly diesel. This topic deals with a range of options that will be investigated to identify suitable options to solve the power generation problems.
A very significant prevalence of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been detected during the last two decades regarding users and the number of applications. The advancement of numerical simulations is progressively encouraging to the current state of the art in many energy engineering applications. CFD has been recognised as a fundamental field for advancing research on energy applications such as power generation, combustion, wind energy, concentrated solar power, hydropower, gas and steam turbines, fuel cells, and many others. Even though a wide range of renewable energy devices can be benefited from CFD simulations.
The CFD tools enable engineers working in the renewable energy industry to understand the physical phenomena well and can be useful in the early design process by offering a full range of analyses. Engineers can effectively test and optimize products in less time and at a significantly lower cost by using a powerful tool such as CFD.
This Special Issue aims to outline the innovations of CFD applications in energy sectors. Henceforth, the objective of the Special Issue is to provide an overview of the CFD applications in renewable energy applications, highlighting the scientific articles focused on the different topics in energy sectors so that readers can refer to the different articles for a detailed revision of the state of the art and contributions to the field of interest.
