Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Journal of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics is published by Springer International Publishing and is in Zone 3 of Mathematics in the CAS Journal Ranking (2025 upgraded edition). By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Navier-Stokes equation solutions, Advanced Mathematical Physics Problems and Stability and Controllability of Differential Equations, together about 49.2% of its articles. Its main subfields are Applied Mathematics and Computational Mechanics. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
The Journal of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics (JMFM) is a forum for the publication of high-quality peer-reviewed papers on the mathematical theory of fluid mechanics, with special regards to the Navier-Stokes equations. As an important part of that, the journal encourages papers dealing with mathematical aspects of computational theory, as well as with applications in science and engineering. The journal also publishes in related areas of mathematics that have a direct bearing on the mathematical theory of fluid mechanics. All papers will be characterized by originality and mathematical rigor. For a paper to be accepted, it is not enough that it contains original results. In fact, results should be highly relevant to the mathematical theory of fluid mechanics, and meet a wide readership. Bibliographic Data J. Math. Fluid Mech.
