Aim & Objective
The Journal of Thermal and Fluid Science (JTFS) (ISSN: 2583-3022) is an open access, peer-reviewed online biannual journal devoted to the publication of original, high-quality research papers, review articles, and technical case studies spanning activities ranging from fundamental research to industrial applications in thermal processes, fluid dynamics, energy systems, and environmental technologies.
JTFS also publishes contributions that employ experimental techniques and computational models to advance the understanding of underlying physical disciplines. The journal disseminates information of permanent interest in heat transfer, fluid flow, thermodynamics, and combustion among researchers, academicians, and engineers worldwide. All articles are published in English and made freely available online worldwide with permanent DOIs.
