Fluid Dynamics Research publishes original and creative works in all fields of fluid dynamics. The scope includes theoretical, numerical and experimental studies as well as data-driven approaches that contribute to the fundamental understanding and/or application of fluid flow phenomena, including turbulence, instability, nonlinear waves, vortex dynamics, rotating flows, multiphase and stratified flows, and micro-scale flows.

Fluid Dynamics Research covers a broad range of fundamental topics in science and engineering in fields including, but not limited to, aeronautics, astrophysics, acoustics, atmospheric and environmental science, biological fluid dynamics, chemically reacting flows, combustion, gasdynamics, geophysics, meteorology, oceanography, and plasma physics. FDR welcomes contributions that pioneer novel ideas and approaches to advance the understanding of fluid flow phenomena and/or develop new applications of fluid mechanics.

We strongly discourage submission of papers that rely on the use of commercial software to perform specific engineering design studies in fluid dynamics that do not provide insight for more general flows.
