Overview

Top Research Topics at Thermophysics and Aeromechanics?

Thermophysics and Aeromechanics investigates areas of study like Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Turbulence, Flow (psychology) and Heat transfer. Most of the works presented in the journal deals with Mechanics but it intersects with the subject of Classical mechanics. Topics like Heat transfer coefficient, Thermal conductivity, Heat flux, Atmospheric temperature range and Boiling are tackled as part of the discussions on Thermodynamics.

The research on Flow (psychology) featured in it combines topics in other fields like Jet (fluid), Optics and Nozzle. The majority of Heat transfer studies presented zero in on Convective heat transfer. While the journal focused on Boundary layer, it was also able to explore topics like Mach number, Laminar flow and Supersonic speed.

Mach number research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Freestream and Choked flow.

  • Mechanics (56.90%)
  • Thermodynamics (23.51%)
  • Turbulence (15.59%)

What are the most cited papers published in the journal?

  • The mechanism of heat transfer in nanofluids: state of the art ( review ). Part 2. Convective heat transfer (52 citations)
  • Interferometric technique for measurement of droplet diameter (52 citations)
  • Mathematical modelling of complex heat transfer in a rectangular enclosure (47 citations)

Research areas of the most cited articles at Thermophysics and Aeromechanics:

The published papers primarily focus on research topics in Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Flow (psychology), Optics and Heat transfer. Turbulence, Boundary layer, Reynolds number, Laminar-turbulent transition and Supersonic speed are all topics related to Mechanics research discussed in the published articles. The most cited articles address concerns in Flow (psychology) which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Thermal, Spectral line, Intensity (heat transfer), Evaporation and Wake.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Quantum mechanics

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The journal primarily focuses on research topics in Mechanics, Flow (psychology), Vortex, Mass transfer and Phase (matter). Turbulence, Boundary layer, Reynolds number, Mach number and Supersonic speed are some of the study areas of Mechanics discussed. The studies in Flow (psychology) featured incorporate elements of Liquid film, Jet (fluid), Airflow and Shear stress.

Concepts in Work (thermodynamics), as well as related topics in Heat transfer, are covered in the Shear stress research presented in Thermophysics and Aeromechanics. The study of Nozzle and how it intertwines with concepts under Deposition (phase transition), Stagnation temperature, Gas dynamic cold spray and Coating were explored in the presented Vortex research. Topics in Mass transfer explored in Thermophysics and Aeromechanics were investigated in conjunction with research in Streamlines, streaklines, and pathlines, Enthalpy, Stagnation enthalpy and Diffusion.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Angular momentum transfer across the interface of two immiscible liquids (1 citations)
  • Computational and experimental study of the control efficiency of the flow around an airfoil by means of distributed mass transfer (0 citations)
  • Numerical investigation on the effect of upstream ramps on film cooling performance with compound angles (0 citations)

Papers citation over time

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 Thermophysics and Aeromechanics (based on the number of publications) are:

  • S. V. Stankus (31 papers) published 1 paper at the last edition, 4 less than at the previous edition,

Publication chance based on affiliation

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, 68.57% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 45.45% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 27.27% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 9.09% of all publications and 18.18% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

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.

Returning Institution Index

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.

The experience to innovation index

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:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
