Viskanta, West Lafayette, Indiana Aims and Scope: Numerical Heat Transfer, Part B: Fundamentals is an international journal devoted to publishing papers on all aspects of the methdology for the numerical solution of problems of heat transfer, mass transfer, and fluid flow. Also within the scope of the journal is the modeling of complex physical phenomena prerequisite to the attainment of numerical solutions. Papers presenting numerical or experimental results that support the methodology development are also appropriate to the journal. On the other hand, papers whose dominant thrust is the attainment and presentation of numerical results should be submitted to a companion journal, Numerical Heat Transfer, Part A: Applications. This journal will be published in two volumes, each containing two issues, for a total of four issues scheduled for publication in 1991.
