Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics

期刊简介：The Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics (JAFM) is an international, peer-reviewed journal which covers a wide range of theoretical, numerical and experimental aspects in fluid mechanics. The emphasis is on the applications in different engineering fields rather than on pure mathematical or physical aspects in fluid mechanics. Although many high quality journals pertaining to different aspects of fluid mechanics presently exist, research in the field is rapidly escalating. The motivation for this new fluid mechanics journal is driven by the following points: (1) there is a need to have an e-journal accessible to all fluid mechanics researchers, (2) scientists from third- world countries need a venue that does not incur publication costs, (3) quality papers deserve rapid and fast publication through an efficient peer review process, and (4) an outlet is needed for rapid dissemination of fluid mechanics conferences held in Asian countries. Pertaining to this latter point, there presently exist some excellent conferences devoted to the promotion of fluid mechanics in the region such as the Asian Congress of Fluid Mechanics which began in 1980 and nominally takes place in one of the Asian countries every two years. We hope that the proposed journal provides and additional impetus for promoting applied fluids research and associated activities in this continent. The journal is under the umbrella of the Physics Society of Iran with the collaboration of Isfahan University of Technology (IUT) .

【译文】《应用流体力学杂志》（JAFM）是一本国际性的同行评审期刊，涵盖了流体力学在理论、数值和实验方面的广泛内容。重点在于不同工程领域的应用，而不是流体力学纯数学或物理方面的内容。尽管目前存在许多涉及流体力学不同方面的优质期刊，但该领域的研究正在迅速增加。新流体力学期刊的动机如下：（1）需要有一个对所有流体力学研究人员都开放的电子期刊，（2）第三世界国家的科学家需要一个不需要支付出版费用的平台，（3）高质量的论文应通过高效的同行评审过程快速发表，（4）需要有一个快速传播在亚洲国家举办的流体力学会议的渠道。关于最后一个观点，目前存在一些致力于该地区流体力学推广的杰出会议，如亚洲流体力学大会，该大会始于1980年，每两年在亚洲的一个国家举行一次。我们希望拟议的期刊能为促进该大陆的应用流体力学研究和相关活动提供额外的动力。该期刊由伊朗物理学会主办，与伊兹法罕科技大学（IUT）合作。
