Introduction
The Journal of Fluid Mechanics exists
for the publication of theoretical, computational and experimental
investigations of all aspects of the mechanics of fluids. It is
published by Cambridge University Press semimonthly in 24 volumes
each year. The journal was founded
in 1956 by George Batchelor, who was also its
Editor until 1996 (with Keith Moffatt as co-Editor from 1966 to 1983).
Since then the Editors have been David
Crighton, Tim Pedley and Steve Davis. The current Editor is Grae
Worster, assisted by Deputy Editors Paul Linden and Charles
Meneveau. They are part of a team of
Associate Editors who handle submissions autonomously.
Changes to website
Please note that these web pages for the Journal of Fluid Mechanics
will be discontinued in the near future, and that at that time users
will be redirected to the JFM page on the Cambridge Journals Online
platform: http://journals.cambridge.org/FLM.
The latter site contains all JFM content, more powerful and complete
search options, various options for content alerts, and numerous other
features

Open Access
The Journal of Fluid Mechanics now offers authors the option to publish
their article through an Open Access model, on payment of a one-off fee
of £1500/$2700.
Authors will be presented with this option only upon acceptance of
their paper. Further details on the Cambridge Open Option are provided here http://journals.cambridge.org/action/stream?pageId=4088&level=2

Focus on
Fluids
Cambridge University Press and the Editorial Board of the Journal of
Fluid Mechanics are pleased to announce a new initiative: "Focus on
Fluids". Every month, one particularly interesting paper in the Journal
will be the subject of an extended review and discussion by an
acknowledged and invited expert in the field. The Focus on Fluids
article will appear both in the print journal, and as a free online pdf
from the Focus on
Fluids website. The FoF article will explain the context,
importance and implications of the underlying paper to a wider
scientific audience, highlighting both the key findings and
breakthroughs of the paper and the implications of the research for
future activity. The twin aims of this initiative are to raise the
visibility of fluid mechanics research and to attract more people to
this beautiful, challenging and increasingly relevant subject.
