About this journal

Aims and Scope
Transport Phenomena serves the global transport community as its leading general science hybrid title, showcasing the latest advances in fluid dynamics, heat transfer and mass transfer.
With enthusiasm, Transport Phenomena publishes intriguing, elegant, fascinating and important advances in and between these three cognate transport sciences.
Rooted respectively in the conservation principles of momentum, energy and mass, Transport Phenomena attracts contributions from all subdisciplines of the physical and biological sciences, applied mathematics and thus, from all branches of engineering.
Transport Phenomena deepens our understanding across the transport sciences, and advances its applications. The journal conducts rigorous and fair peer-review and aims to attract original, tenure accruing contributions, through which the journal endeavors to bring out the very best in the transport community.
Transpo rt Phen omena is a subscription journal with the option of open access publication. All contributions submitted for publication in Transport Phenomena are single-blind peer reviewed. The publication language is English. The publication frequency is continuously.
