INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF THERMAL SCIENCES

The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is devoted to the publication of original research papers concerned with fundamental studies on the physics of processes involving heat transfer and their coupling with mass transfer and/or fluid flow. The journal especially welcomes papers aiming at a better understanding of the coupling of local mechanisms and their interactions in larger scale systems.Papers submitted for publication may contain either experimental results, numerical simulations or discussions of models, and must present a significant scientific contribution.The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:?Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of materials (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow ?Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media?Single or multi-phase fluid flow with or without phase change?Near-and far-field radiative heat transfer?Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological or geological systems,…)?Multiscale modelling.In all cases, the paper must present a physical discussion of the mathematical model and a clear justification of the underlying assumptions.Papers dedicated to applications in different fields of engineering or natural sciences may be considered provided that they analyze the coupling of heat transfer modes with other mechanisms and their influence on the system's behavior.The International Journal of Thermal Sciences will not accept papers with the following characteristics:?Studies which belong to already established specialized journals, such as computational techniques, combustion, thermodynamic cycles,…?Papers with purely descriptive or empirical content, ?Mere applications of classical equations to complex fluids (e.g. colloidal suspensions) or to the complex combination of basic mechanisms (divided media, external forces,…)?Numerical simulations without a thorough validation of the code and convergence study,?Numerical results using commercial CFD codes, unless new insights into the physics of the process are presented, ?Experimental reports without uncertainty analysis or presenting results without error margins,?Experimental or numerical studies which do not provide a physical interpretation of the observed behavior, ?Studies presenting the global performance of industrial systems, ?Papers on the characterization of materials,oStatistical techniques describing the process as a black box.Articles can be submitted in English or French. Before submitting a Review Article, the main author should contact one of the Editors-in-Chief.

《国际热科学杂志》致力于发表关于涉及传热及其与传质和/或流体流动耦合的过程物理基础研究的原始研究论文。期刊特别欢迎旨在更好地理解大尺度系统中局部机制及其相互作用耦合的论文。提交出版的论文可能包含实验结果、数值模拟或模型讨论，必须有重大的科学贡献。杂志范围内考虑的基本主题是：?所有尺度（纳米、微观和宏观）以及所有类型的材料（异质、复合材料、生物等）和流体??流动的热量和相关传质?在反应性或非反应性介质中强制、自然或混合对流?有或无相变的单相或多相流体流动?近场和远场辐射传热?复杂系统（例如等离子体、生物或地质系统等）中的组合传热模式?多尺度建模。在所有情况下，本文必须对数学模型进行物理讨论，并对基本假设进行明确的论证。如果他们分析了传热模式与其他机制的耦合及其对系统行为的影响，则可以考虑专门研究不同工程或自然科学领域应用的论文。国际热科学杂志不接受具有以下特点的论文：?属于已经建立的专业期刊的研究，如计算技术、燃烧、热力学循环等。?纯描述性或经验性内容的论文，?仅将经典方程应用于复杂流体（如胶体悬浮液）或基本机制的复杂组合（分离介质、外力等）?没有对代码和收敛性研究进行彻底验证的数值模拟，?使用商业CFD代码的数值结果，除非对过程的物理有新的见解，?无不确定性分析的实验报告或无误差的结果；?不提供观察行为物理解释的实验或数值研究；?介绍工业系统全球绩效的研究，?关于材料特性的论文，?将过程描述为黑盒的统计技术。文章可以用英语或法语提交。在提交一篇评论文章之前，主要作者应该联系其中一位主编。
