Future Clean Energy Systems
Energy, or precisely, “Clean Energy”, is at the centre of a highly active and dynamic field, which changes and affects not only our current life, but also our near future. Due to the importance Clean Energy currently possess and its transitive characteristics: research, development, implementation, innovation, market penetration of clean energy technologies and systems have expanded in recent course of time.

The role of computational continuum mechanics in development and optimization of renewable energy technologies
For many segments of renewable energy technologies, simulations based on computational continuum mechanics play an important role, since there is no substantial database on past experience or extensive experimental studies. In addition, market pressure is high and technology needs to be developed as fast as possible, which stimulates the use of computational methods to simulate various processes, such as fluid flow, heat transfer, structural deformation (in particular fluid-structure interaction), electro-chemical processes, phase change etc. Both commercial and open-source software is nowadays extensively and successfully used in industry and research institutions for this purpose.
