- This pioneering archive has been been serving the online physics community
since 1991. It is now one of the largest preprint archives in the world.
You will not find a lot of CFD papers here, but it includes sections covering
CFD related topics like fluid
dynamics and computational
physics. If you haven't visited this site before you should definitely
check it out. It plays a leading role in changing how scientific results
will be published in the future.

Journals
These are journals that often publish CFD related articles. Most of the
sites only have table of contents available online. However, sometimes you can
find abstracts and even full papers. The list below is divided into different
fields in order to make it easier to locate journals within your own area of
interest.
Computational Fluid Dynamics
- Journal of Computational Physics
- Abstracts for all papers published in JCP. Full papers can be bought directly
online.
