Flow and Forensics
Forensic science involves multiple questions related to fluid mechanics, fluids physics, and gas dynamics. These range from bloodstain analysis to dynamics of muzzle gases to the rheology of soft tissues and blast wave propagation. These questions require model experiments, data processing, analytical modeling, and numerical simulations. New research holds great promise to forensic and biomedical sciences, facilitating the reliability and accuracy of forensic methods. The fruitful interaction between hemodynamics and fluid mechanics was started by the seminal work of Poiseuille, and this Special Topic aims to facilitate further mutual proliferation of fluid mechanics and forensic science.

Submission Instructions
Manuscripts considered for publication in Physics of Plasmas are expected to meet the respective journal’s standard of acceptance: to report on original and timely results that significantly advance understanding in observational, computational, and theoretical plasma physics. Manuscripts will publish in an issue immediately after acceptance and form a collection with the Physics of Fluids papers for this Special Topic. For more information on the journal’s editorial policies: https://aip.scitation.org/php/info/policies
Manuscripts must be submitted through the Physics of Plasmas online submission system (PXP). Please select the Special Topic “Turbulence in Plasmas and Fluids” to submit your manuscript for consideration in this Special Topic.
