Physics of Fluids was organized to reinforce research efforts on Mechanics, Classical mechanics, Turbulence, Plasma and Atomic physics. The journal primarily discusses Mechanics topics, particularly Reynolds number, Vortex, Instability, Laminar flow and Boundary layer. The journal explores issues in Vortex which can be linked to other research areas like Wake, Flow visualization and Vortex shedding.
While work presented in Physics of Fluids provided substantial information on Classical mechanics, it also covered topics in Flow (mathematics), Navier–Stokes equations, Mathematical analysis and Nonlinear system. It connects the study in Turbulence with the closely related area of Statistical physics. Plasma research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Quantum electrodynamics, Magnetic field and Electric field.
The journal emphasizes research on Magnetic field, which includes concerns such as Magnetohydrodynamics. Topics in Atomic physics explored in Physics of Fluids were investigated in conjunction with research in Electromagnetic radiation and Ion, Electron temperature, Ionization, Electron. The research on Open-channel flow discussed in Physics of Fluids draws on the closely related field of Pipe flow.
The main points discussed in the journal papers deal with Mechanics, Classical mechanics, Turbulence, Reynolds number and Vortex. Mechanics study tackled in the journal publications is connected to the field of Thermodynamics. The journal publications hold forums on Classical mechanics that merge themes from other disciplines such as Navier–Stokes equations, Mathematical analysis, Laminar flow and Boundary layer.
The main research concerns discussed in the journal are Mechanics, Turbulence, Reynolds number, Flow (mathematics) and Vortex. Physics of Fluids encompasses presentations on Mechanics, specifically Flow (psychology), Instability, Boundary layer, Wake and Jet (fluid). Physics of Fluids concentrates on Turbulence topics that focus on Direct numerical simulation, Turbulence kinetic energy and Large eddy simulation.
Reynolds number study tackled is connected to the field of Laminar flow. Vorticity is the primary subject of Vortex works presented in Physics of Fluids.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Physics of Fluids (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Physics of Fluids (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 8.06% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 10.31% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 10.84% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 19.68% of all publications and 59.17% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
