Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There has been a great increase in recent decades in the progressive implementation of new computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques as its use has become more feasible for most experts worldwide.
In recent years, renewable energy has experienced a remarkable development in parallel to the progressive decarbonization of industry and transport. This is clearly related to the technological, economic and social development of humanity, appearing directly under the 17 sustainable development goals established by the UN for 2030. Thus, goal 7 states that access to safe, sustainable and modern energy must be guaranteed. Likewise, objective 13 urges the adoption of measures against climate change, so it is necessary to increase the proportion of renewable energies in the energy mix. In this Special Issue, we try to reflect the latest advances in renewables through the specific wind and wave energy and the recent implementations of hydrogen, both for the industry and transport sectors.
This initiative is supported by the JRL-ORE (Joint Research Lab. on Offshore Renewable Energy), https://jrl-ore.com/, which relies on top-ranked research institutions and private companies; thus, the initiative would strongly contribute to the value chain in this strategic field.
As Guest Editor, on behalf of my colleague Ass. Prof. Fernandez Gamiz, we cordially invite you to present works that rigorously show new complete and commented state-of-the-art, concepts and developments referring to the general phenomenon of CFD applied to renewables such as wind and wave energy engineering, new implementations and the use of hydrogen, of which will be published in this Special Issue, providing originality, usefulness, clarity and well-founded conclusions.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
