Summary

With the integration and progress of the world's energy industry, energy thermal disasters have become an important obstacle to urban development and industrial processes. The evolution process of thermal disasters involves changes in multiple physical and chemical fields, and multiple coupled processes lead to the intensification of thermal disasters, such as the combination of dynamic and thermodynamic processes. The analysis of various physical and chemical coupling processes is crucial for the prevention and control of energy thermal disasters, especially for the ignition, combustion, and explosion of energy materials. In recent decades, a large number of physical and chemical process analyses have been carried out in the energy field, which has laid an effective foundation for the development of the energy industry. With the development of experimental methods and computing technologies, the research on the multi-process coupling mechanism of energy thermal disasters has considerable growth prospects. Research on multi-process coupling mechanisms is an effective method to mitigate energy thermal disasters. To make up for the deficiencies of the multi-process coupling mechanism of energy thermal disaster, it is urgently necessary to carry out basic research.


This special issue aims to explore the multi process coupling mechanism of energy thermal disasters, enrich the basic scientific theory of sustainable thermal disasters in the energy field, and cover ignition, combustion, and explosion of energy materials.
