could you please give me a reference about multiscale fluid mechanics?

After some conversation with Roozbeh which are "irritatingly useful" :) I found that this site has done already all the calculations we need http://www.scimagojr.com/  except the list of highlycited papers which remains for me the most interesting aspect and which we seem to need to do manually as we did yesterday with IJSS and JMPS at Most cited papers and H-factor of some mechanics journals -- IJSS

Some results are attached as a big PDF file.

Dear Colleague:



We are pleased to bring to your attention the First Announcement & Call for Abstracts for the

3rd International Conference on Integrity, Reliability & Failure

Using Computational Biology to Bring Predatory Dinosaurs Back to Life



The proposed programme of research seeks to use state-of-the-art computational techniques to reverse engineer the walking cycle of a predatory dinosaur. Software for image-based modelling, parallel finite element analysis and evolutionary robotics will be coupled and deployed

The full list of journals ranked by H index

It is possible to rank journals equally as authors, using e.g. the Harzing Publish or Perish sofware based on Google Scholar. I did the excercise for IJSS. It turns out the H-index is 78 (slightly higher than even the best authors in solid mechanics, but not stellar).  In the most highlycited papers, we find good names, but not stellar papers.

The results may be affected by the limitations of the software.

We consider the mesoscopic model of protein materials composed of protein crystals with given space group for understanding the mechanical properties of protein materials with respect to their structures. This preprint was accepted for publication at Journal of Computational Chemistry.
