這本雜志的目的是為傳播計算聲學(xué)領(lǐng)域的最新信息提供一個國際論壇。本雜志的主題包括海洋聲學(xué)的研究和教程的貢獻(活躍的研究的主題與聲納探測和無聲的船只的設(shè)計),SEISMO-ACOUSTICS(關(guān)注的地震科學(xué)和工程,以及那些做地下勘察像尋找石油),空氣聲學(xué)(包括噪聲的分析由飛機),計算方法和超級計算。除了傳統(tǒng)的問題和計算方法的問題，該雜志還考慮了聲學(xué)理論研究論文，導(dǎo)致大規(guī)模的科學(xué)計算。該雜志力求在其發(fā)表的高質(zhì)量論文的類型及其格式上具有靈活性。同樣的是全文，應(yīng)該是完整的和相對獨立的原始貢獻與介紹，可以被廣泛的計算聲學(xué)社區(qū)理解。嚴格的和啟發(fā)式的風(fēng)格都是可以接受的。特別令人感興趣的是關(guān)于新研究領(lǐng)域的論文，在這些領(lǐng)域中，除了嚴格計算性的論點外，可能對奠定進一步發(fā)展的基礎(chǔ)很重要。課程回顧論文，包括一些重要的問題，在計算數(shù)學(xué)方法，科學(xué)計算，及其應(yīng)用。簡短的筆記，在簡短的交流中呈現(xiàn)特定的新結(jié)果和技術(shù)。該雜志偶爾會發(fā)表比普通論文通常格式更大的重要文章。此外，還將出版有關(guān)領(lǐng)域高質(zhì)量講習(xí)班成果的專題報告和在一系列計算聲學(xué)方面作出重大貢獻的專著。

The aim of this journal is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of the state-of-the-art information in the field of Computational Acoustics.Topics covered by this journal include research and tutorial contributions in OCEAN ACOUSTICS (a subject of active research in relation with sonar detection and the design of noiseless ships), SEISMO-ACOUSTICS (of concern to earthquake science and engineering, and also to those doing underground prospection like searching for petroleum), AEROACOUSTICS (which includes the analysis of noise created by aircraft), COMPUTATIONAL METHODS, and SUPERCOMPUTING. In addition to the traditional issues and problems in computational methods, the journal also considers theoretical research acoustics papers which lead to large-scale scientific computations.The journal strives to be flexible in the type of high quality papers it publishes and their format. Equally desirable areFull papers, which should be complete and relatively self-contained original contributions with an introduction that can be understood by the broad computational acoustics community. Both rigorous and heuristic styles are acceptable. Of particular interest are papers about new areas of research in which other than strictly computational arguments may be important in establishing a basis for further developments.Tutorial review papers, covering some of the important issues in Computational Mathematical Methods, Scientific Computing, and their applications.Short notes, which present specific new results and techniques in a brief communication.The journal will occasionally publish significant contributions which are larger than the usual format for regular papers. Special issues which report results of high quality workshops in related areas and monographs of significant contributions in the Series of Computational Acoustics will also be published.
