Journals
These are journals that often publish CFD related articles. Most of the
sites only have table of contents available online. However, sometimes you can
find abstracts and even full papers. The list below is divided into different
fields in order to make it easier to locate journals within your own area of
interest.
Computational Fluid Dynamics
- Journal of Computational Physics
- Abstracts for all papers published in JCP. Full papers can be bought directly
online.
