The journal investigates areas of study like Mechanics, Heat transfer, Thermodynamics, Natural convection and Nusselt number. The Mechanics study featured in Numerical Heat Transfer Part A-applications draws parallels with the field of Classical mechanics. In Numerical Heat Transfer Part A-applications, Thermal, Geometry, Flow (psychology), Fluid dynamics and Thermal conduction are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Heat transfer research.
The Geometry study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Finite element method. Heat transfer coefficient, Convective heat transfer, Heat flux, Combined forced and natural convection and Forced convection are all subfields of Thermodynamics research that were featured in the journal. While work presented in Numerical Heat Transfer Part A-applications provided substantial information on Heat transfer coefficient, it also covered topics in Film temperature and Churchill–Bernstein equation.
Numerical Heat Transfer Part A-applications focuses on Natural convection but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Grashof number, Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines, Enclosure and Buoyancy. Numerical Heat Transfer Part A-applications dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Nusselt number and Prandtl number. It explores research in Turbulence and the adjacent study of Jet (fluid).
The most cited publications primarily tackle Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Heat transfer, Natural convection and Nusselt number. The journal publications hold forums on Thermodynamics that merge themes from other disciplines such as Flow (psychology) and Porous medium. The study of Heat transfer in the published papers encompasses disciplines such as Geometry, as well as fields such as Mathematical analysis, all of which overlap with one another.
The aim of Numerical Heat Transfer Part A-applications is to expand the discussion of research in Mechanics, Heat transfer, Thermal, Flow (psychology) and Work (thermodynamics). It features Mechanics research that overlaps with concepts in Heat exchanger. The study of Energy engineering and how it intertwines with concepts under Cooling channel and Gas turbines were explored in the presented Heat transfer research.
Topics in Thermal were tackled in line with various other fields like Coolant, Nuclear engineering, Heat pipe, Bending and Numerical analysis. Topics in Flow (psychology) explored in it were investigated in conjunction with research in Turbulator, Computational fluid dynamics, Core (optical fiber), Deflection angle and Nusselt number. In addition to Work (thermodynamics) research, it aims to explore topics under Forced convection, Cathode, Entropy (classical thermodynamics), Proton exchange membrane fuel cell and Pore scale.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Numerical Heat Transfer Part A-applications (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Numerical Heat Transfer Part A-applications (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 4.29% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 22.39% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 4.48% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 10.45% of all publications and 62.69% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
