Scope of the Journal
Most of the research and experiments in the field of engineering have devoted significant efforts to modelling and simulation of various complicated phenomena and processes occurring in engineering systems. IJESMS provides an international forum and refereed authoritative source of information on the development and advances in modelling and simulation, contributing to the understanding of different complex engineering systems. IJESMS is designed to be a multi-disciplinary, fully refereed, international journal.
Contents
IJESMS publishes original and peer reviewed technical papers which advance understanding of both the fundamentals of engineering science and its application leading to the solution of problems in engineering systems. It is particularly concerned with the demonstration of engineering science modelling and solutions to specific industrial problems. Surveys of newly maturing topics in the field, major developments in modelling and simulation, review papers and book reviews will also published. Breakthroughs can be communicated via short communication, commentaries, and letters to the editor. Contribution may be made by submission or invitation, and special issues devoted to important topics in engineering systems will also be published. Subject coverage:
Suitable topics include, but are not limited to:
• Analysis and computational methods; heat transfer; experimental investigations; aerodynamics; combustion; chemical reaction and mixing; multiphase flow modelling
• Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach to different engineering systems • Dynamic modelling theories, techniques,
and application examples of engineering systems
• Experimental study and/or measurement technology of engineering systems • Manufacturing processes; process
modelling
• Performance modelling of automobiles (consumer vehicles, commercial vehicles, and racing vehicles)
• Structure vibrations; acoustics
• Various engineering system control and simulation
• Optimisation of engineering systems • Signal processing and identification • Other relevant topics
