Applied Mathematical Modelling

Mathematical Modeling of Disasters: New Trends and Perspectives

Submission deadline: 01 August 2026

The aim of the proposed special model is to collect papers focused on mathematical modeling and resulting computer simulations of important challenging natural phenomena often related to natural disasters. 

Examples of possible applications include mathematical modeling of tsunami phenomena on a globe model based on shallow water equations, modeling of thermal inversion and pollution propagation in urban areas based on advection-diffusion-reaction equations, modeling avalanches in mountainous areas, modeling wildfires based on a nonlinear models with diffusion, advection and radiation terms, modeling earthquakes based on nonlinear wave equations, modeling atmospheric phenomena, including climate change using Navier-Stokes-Boussinesq equations, among others.

Mathematical modeling and the resulting computer simulations can have wide applications to challenging problems important to humanity.

Special issue information:

This special issue focuses on the development and application of advanced mathematical modeling and numerical methods for simulating complex natural and environmental phenomena. Contributions that explore finite element methods, physics-informed neural networks (PINNs), and other computational approaches for solving hyperbolic and parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs), particularly in the context of non-linear problems, are highly encouraged.

Special Issue Title: Combustion Optimization and Emission Reduction in Energy Systems

Dear Colleagues,

Combustion processes remain fundamental to modern energy systems and industrial operations despite the ongoing transition toward low-carbon technologies. They continue to play a crucial role in power generation, industrial furnaces, transportation systems, metallurgical processes, waste-to-energy plants, and distributed heating applications. However, conventional combustion technologies are still associated with significant emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, particulate matter, and other harmful pollutants. Increasing environmental regulations, rising energy efficiency requirements, and global decarbonization goals have accelerated research efforts toward cleaner combustion technologies, alternative fuels, advanced numerical modeling, and emission mitigation strategies. At the same time, the growing integration of hydrogen, ammonia, biomass-derived fuels, synthetic fuels, and carbon capture technologies creates new scientific and engineering challenges related to combustion stability, efficiency, pollutant formation, and operational safety.

This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to combustion optimization, emission reduction, alternative fuels, numerical modeling, experimental diagnostics, and sustainable thermal energy systems.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Optimization of combustion processes in boilers, furnaces, gas turbines, and power plants
  • Reduction of NOx, SOx, CO, CO₂, particulate matter, and unburned hydrocarbon emissions
  • Hydrogen combustion technologies
  • Ammonia combustion systems
  • Biomass combustion and waste-derived fuels
  • Syngas and alternative gaseous fuels
  • Oxy-fuel combustion
  • Carbon capture integration with combustion systems
  • Artificial intelligence and machine learning in combustion optimization
  • Waste heat recovery systems
  • Decarbonization of conventional thermal energy systems
  • Hybrid energy systems involving combustion technologies
  • Renewable fuel integration into existing combustion infrastructure
