Journal of Engineering Thermophysics is a science and technology academic journal, the journal mainly publishes the original and creative papers and experimental methods in the research on engineering thermodynamics and utilization of energy resources, aerothermodynamics of heat engines, transfer of heat and mass, combustion, multiphase flow and fluid physics. The journal was commenced by Professor Wu Zhonghua in 1980, who served as editor until 1992. Professor Wu Zhonghua, academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences, director of Chinese Society of Engineering Thermophysics, and the head of the original Chinese Academy of Engineering Thermal Physics Research Institute, is a world famous physicist, who finds theory of three-variable turbulent flow. The journal is indexed by EI, CA, CSCD, CNKI and so on.

In the year 2015, 12 issues were published, including 567 papers in total. The journal focused on creative academic papers on engineering thermodynamics and energy utilization, aero thermodynamics, heat transfer and mass transfer, combustion, multiphase flow, experiment method and technology of fluid machinery and engineering thermophysics research. The journal provides the forum for high-quality research communications, original new developments in scientific researches. The journal has won the honor of “The Excellent International Impact Academic Journals (Top 10% academic journals in China)” by Chinese Assessment Center for Academic Journals.
