    Paper Scientific
AI Thread Summary
A recent BSME graduate seeks a scientific journal to publish a paper on a solution to the Navier-Stokes equation, despite limited work experience and credentials. The individual is looking for affordable options and hopes for peer review to ensure the paper's validity before publication. Suggestions include reputable journals like the Journal of Fluid Mechanics and AIAA Journal, which prioritize the quality of the research over the author's credentials. Concerns about being overlooked due to a lack of strong credentials are addressed, emphasizing that valid results and analysis are what truly matter. The importance of originality in the research is also highlighted to avoid publishing previously covered solutions.

I only have a BSME with a very small amount of work experience (I graduated recently). I'm hoping that there is a decent scientific journal out there that would seriously look at my paper regardless of my credentials (or lack thereof), review it, and if they find it correct publish it. Also, I am trying to do this cheaply.

I don't live near my University and I was never really acquainted with any of my Engineering professors so I think asking my school for help may be out of the question. The paper is about a particular solution to the Navier Stokes equation in 3D. Lastly, I'm not sure how correct or incorrect my paper is so it would be great if the journal does peer review. I wouldn't want something completely wrong published with my name on it. haha. Basically, what scientific journal can I submit my paper to given my lack of strong credentials? Thanks.

Sounds like you want something like the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Journal of Fluids Engineering, Physics of Fluids, AIAA Journal, etc. They are all peer reviewed. However, your paper will have to be pretty good to get into a journal. You ought to know if it is correct before you submit it.
 
Thanks for the suggestions. Do you think they would seriously read my paper given my lack of strong credentials? Or would they look at my credentials and just ignore my paper?
 
If the paper is good they won't care about your credentials. What they care about is results and analysis. If that is valid then Peewee Herman could be the author.

Make sure your work is new though. It will look pretty bad if it has been published before.

If you don't mind me asking, what solution to NS are you trying to publish on?
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
