Special Issue on microscopic simulation of multiphase flow in porous media (MSMF)

2025-01-06

Submission deadline: August 31, 2025

The transport behaviors of multiphase fluids in porous media has significant application value in energy development. With the continuous advancement of molecular simulation techniques, pore-scale simulation methods, and computer hardware, researchers are now able to more accurately and rapidly observe and simulate multiphase flow in large-scale porous media, and reveal their underlying physical and chemical mechanisms. Capillarity has established this special issue on "Microscopic simulation of multiphase flow in porous media" to promote academic exchange in the field of multiphase flow in porous media and share the latest research findings.

Special issue topics:

The following topics serve as a guide, but are not exhaustive, to the types of research that are encouraged for submission:

  1. Oil-gas-water-solid multiphase flow behaviors
  2. Dynamics of multiphase fluid interface
  3. Imbibition behaviors and multiple dynamic balance such as capillary-displacement-inertia force
  4. Gas-liquid phase changes under dynamic temperature and pressure conditions
  5. Multiphase and multicomponent chemical reaction flow
  6. Innovative numerical simulation method for multiphase flow

Submission Guidelines:

All submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and contain only original work, which has not been published by or is currently under review for any other journals. All papers will be peer-reviewed according to the reviewing policy of Capillarity. This is a virtual special issue, in which all accepted papers will be published immediately. Requests for additional information should be addressed to the guest editors.

Guidelines for preparation of manuscript are highly recommended before your submission. Papers should be submitted via an online submission system. To ensure that all manuscripts are correctly identified for consideration for this special issue, it is important that authors select VSI: MSMF as the ‘Article Type’ during the submission process.

Open Access: free for readers with article processing charges (APC), more detail please see HERE

All submissions to the journal’s Call for Papers for topical Special Issues are treated as contributions to virtual special issue. This means that once a paper is accepted for a special issue, it will be immediately published in the current original issue of the journal. Manuscripts accepted early will be published early too.

The editorial process of papers submitted to Special Issues also involves a single anonymized review process. All submissions are initially assessed by the Editor-in-Chief and lead guest editor for suitability for the journal and the special issue topic. The Editor-in-Chief is entitled to reject a manuscript which is deemed to be unsuitable before subjecting it to peer review. Potentially suitable manuscripts are assigned to at least two independent expert reviewers on the basis of their subject expertise to assess the scientific quality and provide a peer-review report. The peer review assessments are initially assessed by the guest editor(s). In the full peer-review process, the identities of reviewers are not disclosed to the authors at any stage. The Editor-in-Chief is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of articles. The Editor-in-Chief's decision is final. Guest editors are not involved in any decision making or review processes concerning manuscripts for which they are authors or co-authors. Moreover, the identity of the reviewers conducting reviews of such paper are not disclosed to Guest Editors at any stage. After the Special Issue is completed, all the accepted papers will be ultimately compiled with a link to the compilation placed on the journal’s website.
