About this journal

Aims and scope

Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics is a fully open access journal of numerical methods in fluid mechanics. The journal includes applications to aeronautic, civil, environmental, hydraulic and mechanical engineering.

Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics is a publication of the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics provides an international, interdisciplinary forum for innovative, practical and industrial research in computational techniques to address a range of fluid mechanics problems. The journal publishes papers that address practical problem-solving by means of robust numerical techniques to generate precise flow prediction and optimum design, and those that further understanding of the physics of fluid motion.

Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics covers:

  • Innovative computational strategies, architectures, algorithms and techniques for engineering problems
  • Analysis and simulation techniques and systems
  • Quality and reliability, i.e. control of the accuracy, stability and efficiency of computational process
  • New computing environments, such as distributed heterogeneous and collaborative computing
  • Advanced visualization techniques, virtual environments and prototyping
  • Automatic generation of model and mesh
  • Application of object-oriented technology to engineering problems
  • Applications of artificial intelligence, knowledge-based systems, decision-support systems, fuzzy logic, neural networks and evolutionary computations
  • Computer-aided design and integrated systems
  • Industrial experiences in the application of the above techniques, including case studies or bench-marking exercises

Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics publishes research papers, review articles and discussions.

The journal operates a double-anonymized peer review policy.

All articles are freely and permanently available online through gold open access publication.

Open access

Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics is an open access journal and only publishes open access articles. Publishing open access means that your article will be free to access online immediately on publication, increasing the visibility, readership, and impact of your research.

Why choose open access?

  1. Increase the discoverability and readership of your article
  2. Make an impact and reach new readers, not just those with easy access to a research library
  3. Freely share your work with anyone, anywhere
  4. Comply with funding mandates and meet the requirements of your institution, employer or funder
  5. Rigorous peer review for every open access article

Article Publishing Charges (APC)

To publish open access in this journal you may be asked to pay an Article Publishing Charge (APC). You may be able to publish your article at no cost to yourself or with a reduced APC if your institution or research funder has an open access agreement or membership with Taylor & Francis. Discounts and waivers may also be available for researchers in selected countries when publishing in open access journals.
