A bibliometric analysis of published researches about heat transfer simulation (HTS) for a period of time since 2007 until 2017 is conducted based on Web of Science Core Collection.The quest identified a total of 1169 publications related with HTS in the period.The patterns of the publication results, subject categories, relevant journals, international productivity and collaboration, geographic distribution of authors, and keywords of authors were analysed.The anual number of publications in the quest increased from 68 in 2007 to 138 in 2017, highlighting 2016 as the year with the highest increase rate with 167 pulications."Chemical Engineering, Fluid Flow and Transfer Processes", "Energy & Energy Engineering and Power Technology",and "Engineering & Engineering" were the three main categories of the most relevant topics.International Journal of Heat and mass Transfer, is considered the main journal of the topicwith the greatest number of publications.China, Iran and the USA were the three most productive countries.The most productive institution was Xi An Jiao Tong Univ, followed by the Indian Inst Technol and Islamic Azad Univ.Iran was the most frequent partner in international collaborations.Thisstudy revealed subyacent patterns in results and academic collaborations which can be useful as an alternative way to reveal tendencies of heat transfer simulation.
