journal-of-fluid-mechanics

separate

Use when targeting the Journal of Fluid Mechanics (JFM) or deciding whether a fundamental fluid-mechanics manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the physical-understanding bar across analysis/computation/experiment, the insight-not-application scope, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

When to use

• fit/framing check for JFM manuscripts
• re-framing flow studies for physical understanding
• choosing between JFM and applied-CFD venues
• JFM physical-insight bar and desk-reject heuristics
• turbulence and hydrodynamic stability studies
• multiphase and geophysical fluid dynamics
• biological and low-Reynolds-number flows
• compressible flows and vortex dynamics

When not to use

• applied CFD of a specific piece of equipment
• parametric simulation with no extracted physics
• demonstration that a method or device works
• engineering application focus
• replacing the journal's current official author instructions
