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.

总体目标：计算粒子力学 (CPM) 是一本季刊，旨在发表涉及粒子和粒子方法的系统的建模和模拟的全文原创文章。目标是加强在研究中以某种形式使用“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广泛用于自然科学和应用科学、工程学、生物学。“粒子方法/力学”一词现在对 21 世纪的研究人员来说意味着几件不同的事情，包括：

(a) 粒子作为颗粒介质、颗粒流、等离子体、群体等中的物理单元，

(b) 粒子代表中观、微观和纳米尺度的连续体中的材料相，以及

(c) 粒子作为数值方法中连续体和不连续体中的离散单元，例如

离散元法 (DEM)、粒子有限元法 (PFEM)、分子动力学（MD）和光滑粒子流体动力学（SPH），仅举几例。

Computational Particle Mechanics创刊于2014年，由Springer International Publishing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 。平均审稿速度 ，影响因子指数2.8，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。
