Aime & Scopes
- Computers & Fluids is multidisciplinary. The term 'fluid' is interpreted in the broadest sense. Hydro- and aerodynamics, high-speed and physical gas dynamics, turbulence and flow stability, multiphase flow, rheology, tribology and fluid-structure interaction are all of interest, provided that computer technique plays a significant role in the associated studies or design methodology. Applications will be found in most branches of engineering and science: mechanical, civil, chemical, aeronautical, medical, geophysical, nuclear and oceanographic. These will involve problems of air, sea and land vehicle motion and flow physics, energy conversion and power, chemical reactors and transport processes, ocean and atmospheric effects and pollution, biomedicine, noise and acoustics, and magnetohydrodynamics amongst others. The development of numerical methods relevant to fluid flow computations, computational analysis of flow physics and fluid interactions and novel applications to flow systems and to design are pertinent to Computers & Fluids. Benchmark solutions are also within the scope of the journal and will be published in dedicated issues. Policy statement on validation and numerical accuracy: Computers & Fluids will reject all manuscripts that do not report results with the required assessment of accuracy. The following items should be discussed and supported by adequate data and/or references: /// Statement of the physical model and flow configuration: both the governing equations, boundary conditions and geometry and governing dimensionless numbers (Reynolds number, Mach number...) should be clearly explicated in such a way that readers may reproduce the results. /// Statement of numerical methods: they should be described in a clear way, including boundary conditions and initial conditions. Formal order of accuracy should be given. Methods should be at least second-order accurate in space for spatially smooth solutions, locally first-order accurate methods being appropriate for flows with discontinuities (e.g. shocks). /// Statement of code verification activities: numerical implementation of the numerical schemes and algorithms should have been verified, e.g. using analytical solutions, manufactured solutions or highly accurate benchmark solutions. /// Spatial, temporal and iterative convergence of the presented results should be asessed in the manuscript. Grid convergence must be proved considering several computational convergence with respect to the number of degrees of freedom should be assessed. Iterative convergence should be proved for steady-state results plotting residual evolution. Temporal convergence should be proved considering several values of the time step.
