Physics of Fluids (PoF) is a preeminent journal devoted to publishing original theoretical, computational, and experimental contributions to the understanding of the dynamics of gases, liquids, and complex or multiphase fluids. Both curiosity-driven and applied advances are received with enthusiasm.
Complex fluids, including polymers, colloids, composites, liquid crystals, biomaterials, emulsions, and pastes, are ubiquitous in our daily lives, and progress in fundamental sciences can enable new structure-processing-property relationships for next-generation…
Cavitation research spans the range from basic research to finding answers from demanding industrial questions. The advancement of numerical and experimental methods in the recent years offers new tools to…
Light, X-ray, and neutron scattering techniques have long been used to understand the physics of fluids at the nano- and microscales. From protein morphology to polymer orientation to interactions between…
Hypersonic flow is often accompanied by phenomena such as shock waves and real gas effects, and its thermodynamic characteristics, transport characteristics, and energy transfer and conversion are very complicated. It…
Precession and nutation (periodic changes in the orientation of the rotation axis) as well as libration (variations of the orientation of the principal moments of inertia) of a rotating fluid…
Building a clean, low-carbon and efficient energy system is the essential basis for sustainable development. Multiphase flow is a basic science to study multiphase fluid flow, heat and mass transfer,…
Tsunamis can be generated by earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, underwater explosions, and asteroid impacts. Tsunami studies span the generation, propagation, runup, and inundation of tsunamis caused by various sources. The…
Recently, hydrogen has drawn significant attention for its use in energy storage and propulsion systems without carbon emission. Hydrogen has many unique physico-chemical properties, such as small molecular weight, low…
The human eye presents researchers in fluid flow with unique challenges and opportunities. The environment external to the eye controls evaporation and the deposition of particulates and other contaminants. Blinking…
Paints and coatings are ubiquitous, with wide-ranging applications. The manufacture and storage of paints, their application on a substrate, and film formation all involve fluid flow whose understanding and control…
