# Journal of Fluid Mechanics (journal-of-fluid-mechanics)

## Journal positioning

The Journal of Fluid Mechanics (JFM), published by Cambridge University Press, is a
leading archival journal for **fundamental fluid mechanics**. It publishes
analytical, computational, and experimental studies whose purpose is physical
understanding of fluid phenomena — turbulence, hydrodynamic instabilities, multiphase
and interfacial flows, geophysical and biological flows, and the dynamics that
govern them. The defining expectation is **new insight into the mechanics of a
flow**, not a demonstration that a method or device works. Applied CFD of a specific
piece of equipment, or a parametric simulation with no extracted physics, is a poor
fit. JFM values clean problem formulation, careful evidence, and an interpretation
that advances how the community understands the flow. This skill is a **fit /
