About this journal

Aims and scope

Turbulence is a physical phenomenon occurring in most fluid flows, and is a major research topic at the cutting edge of science and technology. Journal of Turbulence ( JoT) is a digital forum for disseminating new theoretical, numerical and experimental knowledge aimed at understanding, predicting and controlling fluid turbulence.


JoT
provides a common venue for communicating advances of fundamental and applied character across the many disciplines in which turbulence plays a vital role. Examples include turbulence arising in engineering fluid dynamics (aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, particulate and multi-phase flows, acoustics, hydraulics, combustion, aeroelasticity, transitional flows, turbo-machinery, heat transfer), geophysical fluid dynamics (environmental flows, oceanography, meteorology), in physics (magnetohydrodynamics and fusion, astrophysics, cryogenic and quantum fluids), and mathematics (turbulence from PDE’s, model systems). The multimedia capabilities offered by this electronic journal (including free colour images and video movies), provide a unique opportunity for disseminating turbulence research in visually impressive ways.


All published research articles in this journal undergo rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.

Open access

Journal of Turbulence is a hybrid open access journal that is part of our Open Select publishing program, giving you the option to publish open access. Publishing open access means that your article will be free to access online immediately on publication, increasing the visibility, readership, and impact of your research.

Why choose open access?

  1. Increase the discoverability and readership of your article
  2. Make an impact and reach new readers, not just those with easy access to a research library
  3. Freely share your work with anyone, anywhere
  4. Comply with funding mandates and meet the requirements of your institution, employer or funder
  5. Rigorous peer review for every open access article

Article Publishing Charges (APC)

If you choose to publish open access in this journal you may be asked to pay an Article Publishing Charge (APC). You may be able to publish your article at no cost to yourself or with a reduced APC if your institution or research funder has an open access agreement or membership with Taylor & Francis.
