Chapter 899: Submit to Chinese Journal?

Almost without thinking, Professor Harold clicked the download button next to the paper preview page.

About half a minute later, a PDF document appeared on his computer desktop.

After opening it, he read the summary as quickly as possible as usual.

"It turns out to be an article related to level set methods... It seems to be related to topology, which Professor Chang is good at."

Harold’s expertise is actually in the high-level numerical simulation framework. However, two-phase flow is an unavoidable topic in the field of aerospace propulsion. As a former NASA researcher, it is difficult for him not to have some understanding of this field:

"No wonder he has been..."

As he thought this, he skipped the background introduction and started reading the main text.

The fact that Torch Laboratory published a Nature paper on materials science is basically known only to people in the industry.

Therefore, most scholars still remember the name Chang Haonan from his sudden appearance last year.

It is very normal for a mathematician, after completing the ultimate achievement in the field of topology, such as proving the Poincare conjecture, to return to apply his research results.

"First set up the equations of motion, then update the level set function... add an intermediate term..."

"To prevent breakpoints, add sticky items..."

"Assume that the velocity field on the cell grid is u = sin^2(πx)sin(2xy)..."

"..."

At first, Harold just wanted to take a look at it with the mentality of "Let me see what the big guys are researching."

But once you start watching it, you can’t stop easily.

Because starting from the third section, Harold realized that the paper in front of him was very similar to the one that had just been rejected.

Of course not in terms of content.

Although both are algorithmic research in the field of computational fluid dynamics, they are unrelated from the mathematical theory to the practical problems they face.

But it means...

The writing style of the article is very similar.

They all start from the classical algorithms that were commonly used in the past. About half of the article is used for mathematical derivation. Then a typical example is used to verify the advantages of the new algorithm over the traditional algorithm. Finally, it is proved that the algorithm converges within the specified usable range.

"Fxxk..."

Harold spoke sweetly:

"That's what I said. Even he wrote it this way, which means there should be no problem with this paper structure..."

Although Chang Haonan does not have any impressive titles in the international academic community at present, anyone who pays a little attention to the field of mathematics will know that Chang Haonan and Perelman will definitely be on the list of winners of the 2002 Fields Medal.

So, this paper gave Harold enough confidence.

In fact, at the moment when Matthew left, Harold even hesitated whether he should revise it again according to the JCP editor's suggestion.

Even though he knew clearly that due to content preferences, he would most likely continue to be harassed even if he changed it.

But if we don't change, there won't be any hope at all.

Of course, he himself didn't care, but as Matthew was the first doctoral student he had supervised after becoming a professor, he still needed a thesis to support himself.

But now, Harold decided.

Not a single word changed!

After making a firm decision, Harold quickly scrolled down Chang Haonan's paper to the conclusion section at the bottom, and prepared to find a different magazine to submit his paper to after reading it.

but.

Just as he moved the mouse and was about to click the upper right corner to close the document, his attention was attracted by a paragraph at the bottom of the paper, even after the conclusion.

[This paper is a preprint and does not represent my final research results, so the content is still subject to modification or addition. ]

[The official version of the paper will be published in the first issue of the Journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (English Edition) in May 2001...]

"and many more……"

Harold stopped what he was doing, opened his eyes wide and said to himself:

"Is Professor Chang actually planning to publish this paper?"

But he immediately realized that what he had just said was not human language.

It is normal to write a paper and publish it in a journal.

Directly publishing it on arXiv, the previous experience is enough to make it famous forever.

After all, Chang Haonan and Perelman wrote very clearly at the end of that paper that the Poincare conjecture is a wealth and treasure belonging to all mankind, so they decided to make it public to all mankind in an open manner.

The conservation level set method in front of us is obviously not a "treasure of mankind" in any way.

Naturally, it does not deserve the same treatment as the Poincare conjecture.

After figuring out this part, Harold's attention immediately shifted to the "Journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (English Edition)".

Obviously, this is a blatant advertisement.

The purpose is to take advantage of Chang Haonan's fame in the fields of mathematics and applied mathematics and get everyone to pay attention to this new journal, which has not even had its first issue published yet.

Simple and crude.

But often times, simple is best.

For example, now, Harold entered the website of the Journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences without hesitation according to the information given by the other party.

then……

The first thing that catches your eye is the information about the editorial team.

And Chang Haonan's name was prominently listed in the first position.

Editor-in-chief.

Harold was numb.

It took a long time to recover from the shock:

"I should have thought of it earlier..."

He shook his head with a somewhat amusing look.

If it weren’t for this relationship, I’m afraid no one would publish such important research results in a new journal…

However, at this moment, Harold suddenly had an idea.

Although this is a new journal.

It was founded by a Chinese organization.

But no matter what, after all, there is Chang Haonan's golden signboard.

Moreover, as far as the content of the paper is concerned, it may even have a revolutionary effect on two-phase flow simulation.

If all the papers in the Journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were...

wrong.

That's outrageous.

It should be. Even if only one-tenth of them can reach the same level, it will be enough to challenge the status of Nature and Science.

In short, the future is promising.

More importantly, Harold believed that Chang Haonan, the developer of TORCH Multiphysics, would be able to see the great value of his paper!

Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still.

He finished the completely cold sandwich in a few bites, then quickly picked up the phone and called back Matthew, who had just left not long ago.

A few minutes later, the latter sat down across the desk again.

"Teacher, are you looking for me?"

Matthew's spirits had recovered a little compared to when he left before, but he was still a little absent-minded.

"Yes."

Harold has returned to his smug state:

"I have found my next submission target, and I am very confident that it will be approved directly!"

However, the other party's reaction was not as excited as Harold had imagined.

"teacher……"

Matthew tried hard to act like he was cooperating with the performance, but his tone was more of helplessness:

“You told me the same thing before I submitted my paper to JCP last time…”

"Uh……"

Harold was a little embarrassed when he was exposed by his students.

Fortunately, he was not a person who cared too much about face, so he quickly pretended to have lost his memory:

"Is there still such a thing?"

Matthew nodded:

"Not a single word wrong."

"Cough-cough-"

Harold had to cough lightly to hide his embarrassment:

"Anyway, this time there is a real chance, come and see."

He motioned Matthew to come behind him, and then displayed the paper on the screen, as well as the webpage of the Journal of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"Submit to... a Chinese journal?"

Matthew couldn't believe his eyes:

"And... this looks like a new journal that hasn't been published yet?"

He was a little suspicious whether his mentor was ready to throw the jar into chaos.

"Look carefully... the editor-in-chief is Professor Chang Haonan, who proved the Poincare conjecture last year!"

There was a hint of disappointment in Harold's tone.

I am a good student in terms of hard work and seriousness, but I do lack some spirituality.

"Moreover, Professor Chang will publish a paper in the first issue, also on computational fluid dynamics, and the structure of the paper is almost exactly the same as ours."

"In this case, this journal will probably be included in the SCI database immediately after publication, and the number of citations will also be guaranteed..."

Matthew's eyes gradually brightened.

Even though a year has passed, Chang Haonan's reputation is still convincing in the fields of mathematics and applied mathematics.

With him as the editor-in-chief, at least the journal can be guaranteed not to become a second-rate quack magazine.

Even if all other manuscripts are just padding, as long as Chang Haonan publishes his results regularly, he can guarantee the most basic citations and impact factors.

and so……

This wave is not a loss!
