In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

John F. Davidson mainly focuses on Mechanics, Flow, Nozzle, Composite material and Body orifice. His Mechanics study is mostly concerned with Pressure drop and Bubble. The Bubble study combines topics in areas such as Fluidized bed, Geotechnical engineering and Gas dynamics.

While the research belongs to areas of Nozzle, John F. Davidson spends his time largely on the problem of Jet, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Optics. His studies deal with areas such as Drop, Nanotechnology and Inviscid flow as well as Composite material. His Body orifice study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pressure measurement, Viscous liquid, Simulation, Spiral and Secondary flow.

Between 2012 and 2019, his most popular works were:

• Flow patterns and draining films created by horizontal and inclined coherent water jets impinging on vertical walls (31 citations)
• Cleaning of soft-solid soil layers on vertical and horizontal surfaces by stationary coherent impinging liquid jets (30 citations)
• Magnetic resonance characterization of coupled gas and particle dynamics in a bubbling fluidized bed (24 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

• Thermodynamics
• Mechanics
• Mechanical engineering

John F. Davidson mainly investigates Mechanics, Soil horizon, Mechanical engineering, Hydraulic jump and Fluid mechanics. His work in the fields of Mechanics, such as Volumetric flow rate, intersects with other areas such as Jump. Along with Soil horizon, other disciplines of study including Horizontal and vertical, Xanthan gum, Commonwealth, Civil engineering and Scholarship are integrated into his research.

He interconnects Atmospheric temperature range, Chromatography, Contact angle and Surface tension in the investigation of issues within Hydraulic jump. The study incorporates disciplines such as Fluid dynamics, Jet, Flow and Optics in addition to Fluid mechanics.
