The Journal of Computational Multiphase Flows is committed to
publishing original research papers that focus on formulating and resolving
mathematical and phenomenological models inspired by real-world applications
through effective computational techniques in a variety of multiphase flow
problems. The primary objective of this journal is therefore to foster development
of theoretical methods and computational procedures with wide applicability.
It is also intended to disseminate the latest state-of-the-art research to
practitioners of modeling and computer-assisted engineering, which represents
the core mission of this journal.
The journal will be published bi-monthly and is committed to rapid peer-review
and publication.
Aims and Scope
This journal aims to address all aspects of the methodology associated with
numerical solution of multiphase flows, which are of relevance and rapidly
growing interest, and having a broad coverage of numerically-based, results-oriented
papers highlighting the many multiphase problems.
The journal’s scope encompasses modeling of complex physical phenomena that will serve as a foundation for attaining numerical solutions as well as numerical or experimental results that support pertinent methodology development. Acceptable numerical solutions may be based either on available methodologies or adaptations of moderate extensions of available methods. Experimental results that support the numerical solutions to multiphase investigations are also considered.
Topics appropriate to the journal include new theoretical and numerical model development, and computational methodologies and techniques for solving broad real-world multiphase flow problems involving, but are not limited to:
• bubble and drop dynamics
• particle-flow interactions
• melting/solidification processes
• free surface flows
• bubbly flows with and without heat and mass transfer
• complex gas-liquid-solid flows
• environmental modeling
• fluidized beds
• multiphase combustion including fires
Papers published in this journal will to be of the highest scientific quality and originality to maintain high standards in the research and development of multiphase flow problems. These papers are expected to be widely read and cited by many researchers and engineers in this growing field.
The editorial board members of this journal have been selected based on their high standing and international renown in the various fields of multiphase experimental and numerical investigations. They represent both academia and industry and are highly supportive of this publication.
