Computational Thermal Sciences

Computational Thermal Sciences is an international journal designed to provide a forum for the exposure and exchange of ideas, methods and results in computational thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer and mass transfer in solids, liquids and gases, with applications in areas such as energy, materials processing, manufacturing and the environment. All modes of heat and mass transfer will be included: conduction, convection, diffusion, radiation and phase change. Topics to be covered will also include the laws of thermodynamics, the thermal properties of substances, engine and refrigeration cycles and combustion. Papers on all aspects – both fundamental and applied – will be welcome: on the one hand the development of new mathematical methods and computational algorithms, and on the other the application of new or existing methods to the solution of problems in the thermal sciences. Reports of experimental studies undertaken in conjunction with computational work are encouraged. In addition, review papers on relevant topics are invited as is correspondence on published papers. The assessment of the accuracy of computational solutions through verification (examining and limiting errors associated with discretization and with the computational solution methods adopted) and validation (quantification of errors in the physical models used) are essential parts of any computational study, and authors are expected to examine these aspects. Correspondence will be welcomed on any aspect of the papers published.

Quartiles

The set of journals have been ranked according to their SJR and divided into four equal groups, four quartiles. Q1 (green) comprises the quarter of the journals with the highest values, Q2 (yellow) the second highest values, Q3 (orange) the third highest values and Q4 (red) the lowest values.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Cites per Doc

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
