Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer focuses on research related to heat transfer, fluid flow, and thermal management, particularly in high-speed and hypersonic applications. Articles investigate methods for predicting and managing aerodynamic heating, including the use of data-driven models, active cooling techniques like transpiration cooling, and advanced sensor technologies for heat flux measurement. The journal also covers fundamental aspects of heat and mass transfer in various engineering systems, such as cooling channels, fins, and enclosures, often employing numerical simulations and experimental validation.
