中文简介

PCFD于2004年出版了6期，但从2005年增加到了8期，是一本提供国际论坛和参考计算流体动力学领域权威信息来源的杂志。在过去的十年里，CFD已经发展到了如此成熟的程度，以至于现在它被认为是一个广泛的、不断增加的工业应用领域中不可或缺的分析和设计工具。我们相信，申请工作和开发工作一样值得尊敬。实际的流动问题往往是如此复杂，以致于在诸如在工业环境中找到建模复杂性和实用性之间的适当权衡、定义边界条件或解释结果以更好地理解流动物理等问题上需要高度的独创性。连接到计算机辅助设计和使用计算流体动力学开发工业设计系统是一个更具挑战性的领域。因此，CFD的创新应用同样受到鼓励。PCFD的最终目标是通过平衡来自这两个领域的国际和跨学科贡献，为模型、软件开发人员和用户之间的信息交换提供一个平台。它旨在传播有关数学和数值模型、软件工具及其在CFD领域的创新应用的开发和完善的信息。

英文简介

PCFD, published in 6 issues in 2004 but increased to 8 from 2005, is a journal that provides an international forum and refereed authoritative source of information in the field of computational fluid dynamics. Within the last decade, CFD has gained such maturity that it is now considered to be an indispensable analysis and design tool in a wide, and always increasing range of industrial applications. We believe that the application work can be as honourable as the development work. The practical flow problems are often so complex that a high level of ingenuity is required in issues such as finding a suitable trade-off between modelling complexity and practicability within the industrial environment, defining boundary conditions, or interpretation of the results for a better understanding of the flow physics. Connection to CAD and development of industrial design systems using CFD is a further challenging area. Thus, innovative applications of CFD are equally encouraged. The ultimate goal of PCFD is to provide a platform for information exchange between model and software developers and users, by balanced international and interdisciplinary contributions from both areas. It aims to disseminate information relating to development and refinement of mathematical and numerical models, software tools and their innovative applications in the area of CFD.
