International Journal of Computational Methods

The purpose of this journal is to provide a unique forum for the fast publication and rapid dissemination of original research results and innovative ideas on the state-of-the-art on computational methods. The methods should be innovative and of high scholarly, academic and practical value. The journal is devoted to all aspects of modern computational methods including mathematical formulations and theoretical investigations; interpolations and approximation techniques; error analysis techniques and algorithms; fast algorithms and real-time computation; multi-scale bridging algorithms; adaptive analysis techniques and algorithms; implementation, coding and parallelization issues; novel and practical applications. The articles can involve theory, algorithm, programming, coding, numerical simulation and/or novel application of computational techniques to problems in engineering, science, and other disciplines related to computations. Examples of fields covered by the journal are: Computational mechanics for solids and structures, Computational fluid dynamics, Computational heat transfer, Computational inverse problem, Computational mathematics, Computational meso/micro/nano mechanics, Computational biology, Computational penetration mechanics, Meshfree methods, Particle methods, Molecular and Quantum methods, Advanced Finite element methods, Advanced Finite difference methods, Advanced Finite volume methods, High-performance computing techniques. The journal places a great emphasis on creativity, novelty and innovativeness of computational methods. It aims to become the major platform that archives the history of the technical development of new generations of computational methods. The journal also features a section for technical notes that allows researchers to publish their original findings or new ideas more speedily. It will publish technical discussions so that researchers can have a vibrant and timely academic communication with others. The IJCM will help bring together papers and articles focused on related subjects so as to provide a more effective medium for disseminating the latest developments to researchers, engineers and other professionals.
