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.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
Journal metrics in brief
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of the following metrics (find out why).
- Usage: the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the nearest thousand.
Citation Metrics
- Impact Factor*: the average number of citations received by articles published in the journal within a two-year window. Only journals in the Clarivate Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE), Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI), Arts and Humanities Citation Index (AHCI) and the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) have an Impact Factor.
- Impact Factor Best Quartile*: the journal’s highest subject category ranking in the Journal Citation Reports. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest Impact Factors.
- 5 Year Impact Factor*: the average number of citations received by articles in the journal within a five-year window.
- CiteScore (Scopus)†: the average number of citations received by articles in the journal over a four-year period.
- CiteScore Best Quartile†: the journal’s highest CiteScore ranking in a Scopus subject category. Q1 = 25% of journals with the highest CiteScores.
- SNIP (Source Normalized Impact per Paper): the number of citations per paper in the journal, divided by citation potential in the field.
- SJR (Scimago Journal Rank): Average number of (weighted) citations in one year, divided by the number of articles published in the journal in the previous three years.
Speed/acceptance
- From submission to first decision: the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the journal to receive a first decision. Based on manuscripts receiving a first decision in the last six months.
- From submission to first post-review decision: the average (median) number of days for a manuscript submitted to the journal to receive a first decision if it is sent out for peer review. Based on manuscripts receiving a post-review first decision in the last six months.
- From acceptance to online publication: the average (median) number of days from acceptance of a manuscript to online publication of the Version of Record. Based on articles published in the last six months.
- Acceptance rate: articles accepted for publication by the journal in the previous calendar year as percentage of all papers receiving a final decision.
