The International Journal of Thermal Sciences is devoted to the publication of original research papers concerned with fundamental studies on the physics of processes involving heat transfer and their coupling with mass transfer and/or fluid flow. The journal especially welcomes papers aiming at a better understanding of the coupling of local mechanisms and their interactions in larger scale systems.Papers submitted for publication may contain either experimental results, numerical simulations or discussions of models, and must present a significant scientific contribution.The fundamental subjects considered within the scope of the journal are:?Heat and relevant mass transfer at all scales (nano, micro and macro) and in all types of materials (heterogeneous, composites, biological,...) and fluid flow ?Forced, natural or mixed convection in reactive or non-reactive media?Single or multi-phase fluid flow with or without phase change?Near-and far-field radiative heat transfer?Combined modes of heat transfer in complex systems (for example, plasmas, biological or geological systems,…)?Multiscale modelling.In all cases, the paper must present a physical discussion of the mathematical model and a clear justification of the underlying assumptions.Papers dedicated to applications in different fields of engineering or natural sciences may be considered provided that they analyze the coupling of heat transfer modes with other mechanisms and their influence on the system's behavior.The International Journal of Thermal Sciences will not accept papers with the following characteristics:?Studies which belong to already established specialized journals, such as computational techniques, combustion, thermodynamic cycles,…?Papers with purely descriptive or empirical content, ?Mere applications of classical equations to complex fluids (e.g. colloidal suspensions) or to the complex combination of basic mechanisms (divided media, external forces,…)?Numerical simulations without a thorough validation of the code and convergence study,?Numerical results using commercial CFD codes, unless new insights into the physics of the process are presented, ?Experimental reports without uncertainty analysis or presenting results without error margins,?Experimental or numerical studies which do not provide a physical interpretation of the observed behavior, ?Studies presenting the global performance of industrial systems, ?Papers on the characterization of materials,oStatistical techniques describing the process as a black box.Articles can be submitted in English or French. Before submitting a Review Article, the main author should contact one of the Editors-in-Chief.

《國際熱科學雜志》致力于發表關于涉及傳熱及其與傳質和/或流體流動耦合的過程物理基礎研究的原始研究論文。期刊特別歡迎旨在更好地理解大尺度系統中局部機制及其相互作用耦合的論文。提交出版的論文可能包含實驗結果、數值模擬或模型討論，必須有重大的科學貢獻。雜志范圍內考慮的基本主題是：?所有尺度（納米、微觀和宏觀）以及所有類型的材料（異質、復合材料、生物等）和流體??流動的熱量和相關傳質?在反應性或非反應性介質中強制、自然或混合對流?有或無相變的單相或多相流體流動?近場和遠場輻射傳熱?復雜系統（例如等離子體、生物或地質系統等）中的組合傳熱模式?多尺度建模。在所有情況下，本文必須對數學模型進行物理討論，并對基本假設進行明確的論證。如果他們分析了傳熱模式與其他機制的耦合及其對系統行為的影響，則可以考慮專門研究不同工程或自然科學領域應用的論文。國際熱科學雜志不接受具有以下特點的論文：?屬于已經建立的專業期刊的研究，如計算技術、燃燒、熱力學循環等。?純描述性或經驗性內容的論文，?僅將經典方程應用于復雜流體（如膠體懸浮液）或基本機制的復雜組合（分離介質、外力等）?沒有對代碼和收斂性研究進行徹底驗證的數值模擬，?使用商業CFD代碼的數值結果，除非對過程的物理有新的見解，?無不確定性分析的實驗報告或無誤差的結果；?不提供觀察行為物理解釋的實驗或數值研究；?介紹工業系統全球績效的研究，?關于材料特性的論文，?將過程描述為黑盒的統計技術。文章可以用英語或法語提交。在提交一篇評論文章之前，主要作者應該聯系其中一位主編。
