摘要
This special issue presents seven selected papers that were presented at the First International Conference on Computational Methods for Thermal Problems(Therma-Comp 2009)in Napoli,Italy,September 8-10,2009.It represents the spirit of this new series of conferences,i.e.,to bring together researchers interested in fundamental research on numerical methods for heat and fluid flow and those who use such methods to analyse applications where heat and fluid flow phenomena play an important role.
