About the Journal

Research Reports: Power, Propulsion and Turbomachinery is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing high-quality original research, comprehensive reviews, and selected high-impact reprints in the fields of​ turbomachinery-based propulsion and power systems. The journal emphasizes fundamental and applied studies in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and applied combustion of aerospace, marine, and industrial energy devices, at both component and system levels. This Journal also welcomes research on energy conversion systems involving single- or multi-phase flows and single- or multi-species fluids interacting with one or more turbomachines. The journal aims to serve as a high-quality platform for research dissemination to academics, research institutes, and industry professionals specializing in turbomachinery and related energy systems.

Published tri-annually, the journal is available in both print and electronic formats, ensuring wide accessibility to the research community.​

Scope:
