Journal of Fluid Mechanics

The Journal of Fluid Mechanics is the leading international journal in the field and is essential reading for all those concerned with developments in fluid mechanics. It publishes authoritative articles covering theoretical, computational and experimental investigations of all aspects of the mechanics of fluids. Each issue contains papers on both the fundamental aspects of fluid mechanics, and their applications to other fields such as aeronautics, astrophysics, biology, chemical and mechanical engineering, hydraulics, meteorology, oceanography, geology, acoustics and combustion.

The Journal of Fluid Mechanics exists for the publication of theoretical, computational and experimental investigations of all aspects of the mechanics of fluids. It is published by the Cambridge University Press semimonthly in 24 volumes each year. It was founded in 1956 by George Batchelor, and in 1996 David Crighton took over as Editor until his death in April 2000. The present joint Editors are Steve Davis and Grae Worster, who head a team of associate editors.
