Computational Particle Mechanics

Journal Title：Computational Particle Mechanics

GENERAL OBJECTIVES: Computational Particle Mechanics (CPM) is a quarterly journal with the goal of publishing full-length original articles addressing the modeling and simulation of systems involving particles and particle methods. The goal is to enhance communication among researchers in the applied sciences who use "particles'' in one form or another in their research.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: Particle-based materials and numerical methods have become wide-spread in the natural and applied sciences, engineering, biology. The term "particle methods/mechanics'' has now come to imply several different things to researchers in the 21st century, including:

(a) Particles as a physical unit in granular media, particulate flows, plasmas, swarms, etc.,

(b) Particles representing material phases in continua at the meso-, micro-and nano-scale and

(c) Particles as a discretization unit in continua and discontinua in numerical methods such as

Discrete Element Methods (DEM), Particle Finite Element Methods (PFEM), Molecular Dynamics (MD), and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), to name a few.

一般目标：Computational Particle Mechanics (CPM) 是一本季刊，旨在发表涉及粒子和粒子方法的系统建模和模拟的完整原创文章。目标是加强在研究中以一种或另一种形式使用“粒子”的应用科学研究人员之间的交流。

具体目标：基于粒子的材料和数值方法已在自然科学和应用科学、工程、生物学中得到广泛应用。对于 21 世纪的研究人员来说，“粒子方法/力学”一词现在已经暗示了几件不同的事情，包括：

(a) 粒子作为颗粒介质、粒子流、等离子体、群等中的物理单位，

(b) 代表中观、微米和纳米尺度连续材料相的粒子和

(c) 粒子作为离散单元在连续和不连续的数值方法中，例如

离散元方法 (DEM)、粒子有限元方法 (PFEM)、分子动力学 (MD) 和平滑粒子流体动力学 (SPH) 等等。

Computational Particle Mechanics创刊于2014年，由SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖Mathematics - Computational Mathematics全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。影响因子指数1.696，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
