Scope

• The declared remit opens with the mechanism of combustion itself, the propagation of a flame through a reacting gas and the ways a flame may be ignited, extinguished or held in a steady state.自述的选题范围首先落在燃烧机理本身，火焰在反应性气体中的传播，以及火焰如何被点燃、熄灭或维持在稳定状态。

• The kinetics of fuel oxidation lies close to the core of the remit, covering detailed reaction mechanisms, low temperature chemistry and the routes by which hydrocarbons and alternative molecules are consumed.燃料氧化的化学动力学紧靠选题核心，涉及详细反应机理、低温化学，以及烃类与其它分子被消耗的路径。

• Turbulent combustion takes up a broad part of the description, with premixed and non premixed reacting flows, flame thickening under turbulence and the interaction between eddies and the reaction zone.湍流燃烧占据描述中相当宽的一段，涵盖预混与非预混反应流、湍流作用下的火焰增厚，以及涡旋与反应区之间的相互作用。

• Instability and the violent end of combustion come next, with oscillating flames, thermoacoustic coupling, the deflagration to detonation transition, knock in spark ignition engines and the shock waves such events produce.燃烧不稳定与燃烧的剧烈形态紧随其后，火焰振荡、热声耦合、爆燃向爆震的转变、点燃式发动机的爆震，以及此类事件引发的激波都在其中。

• Numerical work has a standing place in the offering, and the description names computational fluid dynamics, direct simulation, large eddy simulation and reactor models used to track reacting flows through a burner or a chamber.数值研究在刊务中占有稳定位置，自述点名计算流体力学、直接数值模拟、大涡模拟，以及用于追踪燃烧器或燃烧室内反应流的反应器模型。

• The formation of pollutants and the means of holding it back form a standing part of the remit, nitrogen oxides, soot and carbon particles, unburned hydrocarbons and volatile organic compounds all being named.污染物的生成及其控制手段构成选题范围的常设部分，氮氧化物、碳烟与未燃烃被逐一列出，挥发性有机化合物同样在列。

• Biomass and fuels outside the conventional petroleum family are welcomed, with wood chips, agricultural residues, waste derived fuels and pyrolysis products among the materials of interest.生物质与常规石油族之外的燃料同样受欢迎，材料清单里写有木屑与农业残余物，废弃物衍生燃料与热解产物也在其中。

• Hydrogen and the carriers built to carry it have their own place, covering the burning of hydrogen blended with other fuels and the handling of hydrogen derived fuels such as ammonia and methanol.氢及其衍生载体在选题中自有位置，涵盖氢与其它燃料混合燃烧，以及氨与甲醇等含氢燃料的处理。

• Engines and burners form the applied end of the remit, where spark ignition and compression ignition engines sit with gas turbines and industrial burners, and the design of chambers for such devices counts as well.发动机与燃烧器构成选题的应用端，其中既有火花点燃式与压燃式发动机，也有燃气轮机与工业燃烧器，燃烧室设计同样被收进来。

• Safety occupies a place of its own, the description taking in fires in buildings, flame spread, flashover, ventilation effects on burnt gases and the whirl of fire in confined spaces.安全自成一格，建筑火灾、火焰蔓延、轰燃、通风对烟气的影响，以及受限空间内的火旋风都被写入其中。

• Solid and liquid fuels take up their own ground, with pulverised coal combustion in boilers, the burning of heavy fuel oil and residual oils and the slagging that follows.固体燃料与液体燃料各有其位置，锅炉中的粉煤燃烧、重燃油与残余油的燃烧，以及随之而来的结渣都在此列。

• Experimental technique has standing in the description, laser diagnostics, optical measurement of species and temperature, flame imaging, heat flux measurement and the rigs built to carry out such work.实验技术在自述中占有位置，激光诊断与组分、温度的光学测量在此列，火焰成像与热流测量同样在内，为此搭建的试验装置也被提及。

• Measurement of what leaves the burner and how much useful energy the cycle extracts are named as well, covering emissions monitoring, heat recovery and the efficiency of combustion systems in service.对燃烧器排出物的测量以及循环所能提取的有效能量同样被点名，涉及排放监测、余热回收与在役燃烧系统的效率。

History

• The journal began in 2008 in Cairo, when Hindawi Publishing Corporation issued the first volume under the title International Journal of Reacting Systems, a name that lasted two years.该刊 2008 年在开罗创刊，Hindawi Publishing Corporation 推出第一卷时用的是 International Journal of Reacting Systems 这个刊名，延续了两年。

• The present title was taken in 2010, and the two identifiers now printed on the title page, 2090-1968 in print and 2090-1976 in electronic form, date from that change.现刊名自 2010 年启用，如今印在题名页上的两个标识号来自这次变更，印刷版为 2090-1968，电子版为 2090-1976。

• Open access was the model from the beginning, every paper carrying a Creative Commons licence and the cost of production being met by charges the author settles after acceptance.开放获取自创刊起就是该刊的样式，每篇论文都带 Creative Commons 许可，出版成本由作者在录用后结算的费用承担。

• The ownership of the business changed in 2021, when Wiley completed the acquisition of Hindawi and folded the open access titles into its own online library.2021 年出版业务的所有权发生变化，Wiley 完成对 Hindawi 的收购，把这些开放获取刊物并入自有的在线图书馆。

• Wiley has published the journal ever since, while the registration kept with the DOI agency still names Hindawi Limited as the publisher, a lag that is easy to find on the articles themselves.自那以后该刊一直由 Wiley 出版，而在 DOI 注册机构保存的记录里，出版方一栏仍写着 Hindawi Limited，这在论文页面上很容易查到。

• The Hindawi address of the journal now leads to the Wiley page for it, and the older site is kept chiefly as a way back to the earlier volumes.该刊原有的 Hindawi 地址如今指向 Wiley 上的对应页面，旧站主要保留着通往早期卷期的入口。

• Publication has carried on under the new ownership without a break in the numbering, papers dated 2025 and 2026 sitting in the record alongside the much denser years that came before.易主之后出刊没有中断，编号也接得上，2025 年与 2026 年的论文与早年密集得多的年份一同留在记录里。

• The size of the yearly output has changed more than the ownership has, thirty one papers appearing in 2012 and nineteen in 2018 giving way to eight in 2022, one in 2023, two in 2024 and four in 2025.逐年产量的变化比所有权的变化更大，2012 年有三十一篇，2018 年十九篇，随后 2022 年八篇、2023 年一篇、2024 年两篇、2025 年四篇。

• What remains is a title of very small output, and the count of four articles in the year measured by the publisher tells that story as plainly as any figure could.留存下来的是一本产量很小的刊物，出版方统计口径下一年只有四篇论文，这件事被数字说得再清楚不过。

• The 2025 citation report gives an impact factor of 1.3 against a five year value of 1.2, a journal citation indicator of 0.17, a fourth quartile placing at 146 among 183 titles in the engineering, chemical category and a percentile of 20.5.2025 年的引证报告给出影响因子 1.3，五年值为 1.2，期刊引文指标为 0.17，在工程与化工类目中以 183 种期刊里的第 146 位落在第四区，百分位为 20.5。

• The impact factor has eased down over three reporting years, reading 1.5 in 2023, 1.4 in 2024 and 1.3 in 2025, while the half life of the citing literature sits at 11.4 years and the total of 219 citations remains small.影响因子在三个报告年度里一路走低，2023 年为 1.5，2024 年 1.4，2025 年 1.3，引用文献的半衰期停在 11.4 年，总被引 219 次依然不算多。

• Entry into the Emerging Sources Citation Index brought the title into the wider citation record, a place in Scopus covers the years from 2010 onwards, and the journal also appears in the DOAJ listing of open access titles.进入新兴来源引文索引之后，该刊进入了更广的引证体系，Scopus 的收录自 2010 年起延续，该刊同时列在 DOAJ 的开放获取期刊名录中。

• The result is a title that survives as a low output archive of combustion work, still indexed and still open to submissions, though no longer the broad forum that its early volumes had been.结果是一份以低产量存续的燃烧研究档案，仍在检索之列，也仍接受投稿，只是早期卷期那种开阔的论坛已经不复存在。

Editors

• Manuscripts are put through single anonymous peer review, so a referee knows who wrote the paper while the authors are not told who has read it.稿件实行单盲评审，审稿人清楚作者是谁，作者一方则不知道是谁读过自己的论文。

• The publisher's own metrics for 2025 put the median time from submission to a first decision at fifty five days.出版方给出的 2025 年统计显示，从投稿到第一次决定的中位时间为五十五天。

• A median of a hundred and seventy two days runs from submission to acceptance, and a further twenty four days from acceptance to publication.从投稿到录用的中位时间为一百七十二天，录用到出版再用二十四天。

• One paper in three was accepted in 2025 on the publisher's count, a rate that leaves room for a selective hand on a small intake.按出版方的统计，2025 年每三篇来稿中有一篇被录用，这一比率说明少量来稿仍要经过一番筛选。

• Publishing rests on an article processing charge of roughly a thousand US dollars, and waiver arrangements are offered to authors who cannot meet it.出版依靠每篇约一千美元的文章处理费，对无力承担者另设减免安排。

• Readers pay nothing for any paper, and the Creative Commons Attribution licence lets them reuse what they find without asking.读者无需为任何论文付费，Creative Commons Attribution 许可允许他们自行再利用所获内容而无须申请。

• Original research articles form the bulk of the offering, joined by literature reviews and shorter pieces of commentary on a single question.原创研究论文构成刊物的绝大部分，此外还有文献综述与就单一问题展开的短评。

• Those writing for the title in 2025 came from four countries in equal measure, with Cameroon, China, Vietnam and Japan each accounting for a quarter of the leading contributors.2025 年向该刊投稿的作者来自四个份额相当的国家，喀麦隆、中国、越南与日本各占主要贡献者的四分之一。

• Those reading it in the same year were more widely spread, the United States accounting for a third of the audience, China for a seventh and India, Indonesia and the United Kingdom for smaller shares.同年阅读该刊的读者分布更广，美国占读者群的三分之一，中国占七分之一，印度、印度尼西亚与英国各占较小份额。

• The affiliations behind the recent papers include Southeast University, the University of Chicago, the University of Duisburg Essen, the University of Yaounde I, the University of Fada, Brawijaya University and the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.近期论文背后的机构包括东南大学、芝加哥大学、杜伊斯堡埃森大学、雅温得第一大学、法达大学、布拉维贾亚大学与法国国家科学研究中心。

• The editorial record is clean, with no retractions and no expressions of concern counted against the title, a single withdrawal being the only mark on it.出版伦理记录相当干净，该刊名下没有撤稿与关注声明，只有一份撤稿通知算是唯一的瑕疵。

• Collections gathered around one subject have long been a feature of the Hindawi titles, and the same mechanism stands open to authors who want a theme treated in one place.围绕单一主题结集成刊是这批 Hindawi 刊物的固有做法，同一套机制也向希望把某一题目集中讨论的作者开放。
