Its main subfields are Computational Mechanics. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
The journal Computer Modeling in Engineering and Sciences (CMES) publishes original, high-quality papers that address any aspect of computer modeling across a broad range of engineering and scientific disciplines. Areas of computer modeling emphasis include, but are not limited to, computational mechanics, computational materials, computational mathematics, computational physics, computational chemistry, and computational biology. Topics related to solids, fluids, gases, biomaterials, and other continua spanning various spatial length scales (quantum, nano, micro, meso, and macro) and time scales (picoseconds to hours) are of interest. Papers that deal with multi-physics problems, as well as those which study the subjects at the interfaces of mechanics, chemistry, and biology, are particularly encouraged. CMES welcomes novel computational approaches and state-of-the-art algorithms, including modeling techniques such as data-driven surrogate modeling, high-performance computing, and computational statistical methods, as well as AI-based methods like machine learning and soft computing. Contributions that apply innovative modeling and simulation techniques to solve real-world problems, especially in frontier areas, are highly sought. CMES is intended to disseminate state-of-the-art scientific and technological developments to broader scientific research communities. The journal aims to be a reference and a powerful tool for all those professionally active and/or interested in the methods and applications of modeling and simulation. Submitted papers will be peer-reviewed and must significantly contribute to modeling and simulation in general or use modeling and simulation in application areas.
