The main aim of International Journal for Computational Methods in Engineering Science & Mechanics (CMES) is to provide a unique interdisciplinary forum to publish papers dealing with novel mathematical models, computational methods and algorithms, and applications of existing methods for the numerical simulation of natural processes arising in applied science (including engineering physics and bioengineering) and mechanics. Special emphasis is placed on both upstream and applied research, and on the transfer of technology to the industry in the areas of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, solid and structural mechanics in the disciplines of aerospace, chemical, civil, mechanical, electrical engineering, and computational biology and chemistry, and materials science. Papers dealing with novel computational methods to model current and emerging technologies in microelectromechanical systems, electromagnetics, biotechnology, nanotechnology, and information technology are encouraged.Through faster dissemination, the International Journal for Computational Methods in Engineering Science & Mechanics (CMES) offers scope for academics, researchers, and engineering professionals to present their research and development works that have potential for applications in several disciplines of engineering. The journal publishes manuscripts dealing primarily with the computational science and mechanics aspects of natural phenomena (for example, mathematical modeling of materials and systems, novel applications, and numerical simulations). Contributions may range from new methods to novel applications of existing methods to gain understanding of the material and/or structural behavior of new and advanced systems. The following is a nonexhaustive list of topics considered to be within the scope of CMES:
