The Journal of the International Association for Wind EngineeringThe objective of the journal is to provide a means for the publication and interchange of information, on an international basis, on all those aspects of wind engineering that are included in the activities of the International Association for Wind Engineering http://www.iawe.org/. These are: social and economic impact of wind effects; wind characteristics and structure, local wind environments, wind loads and structural response, diffusion, pollutant dispersion and matter transport, wind effects on building heat loss and ventilation, wind effects on transport systems, aerodynamic aspects of wind energy generation, and codification of wind effects.Papers on these subjects describing full-scale measurements, wind-tunnel simulation studies, computational or theoretical methods are published, as well as papers dealing with the development of techniques and apparatus for wind engineering experiments.Author duties: Submission of a manuscript for publication in the journal carries with it an understanding that the author, when requested, will fulfil an obligation to contribute their expertise to the review of others' manuscripts.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

An International Journal Devoted to Photovoltaic, Photothermal, and Photochemical Solar Energy ConversionSolar Energy Materials & Solar Cells is intended as a vehicle for the dissemination of research results on materials science and technology related to photovoltaic, photothermal and photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion. Materials science is taken in the broadest possible sense and encompasses physics, chemistry, optics, materials fabrication and analysis for all types of materials.Of particular interest are: Solar Cells, covering single crystal, polycrystalline and amorphous materials utilising homojunctions and heterojunctions, Schottky barriers, liquid junctions and their applications. Also of interest is analysis of component materials, individual cells and complete systems, including their economic aspects. Photothermal Devices, in the broadest sense, including solar absorber devices, heat storage materials, radiative cooling systems and their applications. Photoelectrochemical and Photochemical Devices, covering photoelectrodes, photocatalysis, photoconversion and solar desalination systems and their applications. Optical Properties of materials, including light trapping, texturising, solar concentrators which include imaging and non-imaging optical collectors. Light Control, including systems for energy efficient architecture and daylighting, chromogenics and smart windows.The pertinent issues are comprehensive and encompass bulk materials, coatings and thin films and surface treatments, from basic as well as from applications-oriented and manufacturing related perspectives.Manuscripts of general interest not being suitable for Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells can be submitted to Refocus, which publishes magazine-style feature articles concerning all aspects of renewable energy. Please e-mail David Hopwood, Editor for further details ([email protected]) and visit http://www.re-focus.net.Technical articles not specifically related to the materials aspects of Solar Energy conversion can be submitted to Solar Energy, the official journal of the International Solar Energy Society. For details, visit https://www.elsevier.com/locate/se-online.This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy)
The Journal covers all aspects of wind energy, with a focus of scientific and engineering content in the development of knowledge, innovation, and technical applications. Taking a multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approach in onshore and offshore wind energy, the key areas covered by the Journal include wind resource assessments; the aerodynamics and hydrodynamics of wind turbines and wind power plants, wind-wave-current interactions, vorticities, nonlinear waves, storm surges and extreme events; wind turbine components, dynamics and control, subsystems, materials, structures, condition monitoring, maintenance and acoustics, modelling and simulation of coupled mechanical-electrical-structural dynamics; wind turbine design; wind power planning, forecasting, production, optimization for electricity grids; computational engineering aspects of wind energy, wind turbines and wind farms; wind-to-X, wind to energy storage (for net zero), wind to storage for smart mobility, coupling of wind energy networks and transportation networks, hydrogen-based system for integration of wind energy systems; wind energy in an evolving climate; and the sustainability issues of wind energy from an engineering perspective (life cycle assessments, recycling of wind turbine components, economics, ecological and environmental impacts, public policies, social issues, etc.).This journal is a spin-off of the journal Energy. Wind energy papers that have a thermal energy component or are related to national energy systems are in the scope of Energy, not Wind Energy and Engineering.Finally, research in atmospheric science and fundamental aspects of electrical components (generators, motors, power converters, transmission and distribution grids, etc.) are considered out of scope of Journal.
