Use when targeting the Journal of Fluid Mechanics (JFM) or deciding whether a fundamental fluid-mechanics manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the physical-understanding bar across analysis/computation/experiment, the insight-not-application scope, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Journal of Fluid Mechanics (journal-of-fluid-mechanics) ## Journal positioning The Journal of Fluid Mechanics (JFM), published by Cambridge University Press, is a leading archival journal for **fundamental fluid mechanics**. It publishes analytical, computational, and experimental studies whose purpose is physical understanding of fluid phenomena — turbulence, hydrodynamic instabilities, multiphase and interfacial flows, geophysical and biological flows, and the dynamics that govern them. The defining expectation is **new insight into the mechanics of a flow**, not a demonstration that a method or device works. Applied CFD of a specific piece of equipment, or a parametric simulation with no extracted physics, is a poor fit. JFM values clean problem formulation, careful evidence, and an interpretation that advances how the community understands the flow. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official author instructions. Before submitting, re-check the live JFM author information. ## When to trigger - The author names JFM for a fluid-mechanics manuscript and wants a fit/framing check. - A flow study must be re-framed

What does the journal-of-fluid-mechanics skill do?
Use when targeting the Journal of Fluid Mechanics (JFM) or deciding whether a fundamental fluid-mechanics manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the physical-understanding bar across analysis/computation/experiment, the insight-not-application scope, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill journal-of-fluid-mechanics --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
