The  International Journal of Computational Fluid Dynamics publishes innovative CFD research, both fundamental and applied, in a wide variety of fluids and physics fields.

The Journal emphasizes accurate predictive tools for 3D flow analysis and design, and those promoting a deeper understanding of the physics of 3D fluid motion.

Submitted papers should cover CFD algorithms, methods and applications relevant to current research and applied CFD challenges.

Innovative multidisciplinary and multiphysics applications, High Performance Computing, from RANS levels to scale-resolving methodologies, are encouraged.

Submissions restricted to 1D, 2D or inviscid models will be considered only under exceptional conditions of algorithmic innovation. Variants of existing algorithms will not be considered.

Double-anonymized peer review process

All initial submissions and revisions are done online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.

All articles accepted for review undergo a rigorous double-anonymized peer review based on an initial Editors’ screening, followed by refereeing from international experts.

Guidance to authors

Authors are encouraged to, as much as possible, address the following points in their paper:

    The order of accuracy of the numerical method;
    The method’s verification against closed-form, manufactured or other highly-accurate numerical solutions;
    The method’s validation against reliable results: experimental or other numerical solutions, clearly explaining the advantages of the proposed method;
    The level of grid dependence of results;
    The method’s iterative convergence.


Papers based on Commercial or Open-Source CFD codes

discouraged

exceptionally significant additional CFD algorithmic or modelling contributions.



Short Communications

    The IJCFD publishes Short Communications that represent significant incremental changes or advances to an existing CFD methodology, that merit fast publication in the permanent literature;
    Short Communications are limited to 3000 words;
    Short Communications receive the same scrutiny as full articles and authors are reminded of the IJCFD stance on the use of commercial or open-source codes.
