• Publication was suspended for the year 1981 before the journal resumed and settled into its bimonthly rhythm of six issues a year1981 年出版中断一年，随后恢复并稳定为每年六期的双月刊节奏。
• Academic Press took over publishing in 1983, Butterworth-Heinemann became the publisher in the mid-1990s, and the title later passed to Elsevier（Academic Press）于 1983 年接手出版，二十世纪九十年代中期起改由（Butterworth-Heinemann）出版，其后转入（Elsevier）旗下。
• Past Editors-in-Chief include B. E. Launder, F. W. Schmidt, T. Gatski and N. Kasagi, and Suad Jakirlic of TU Darmstadt led the journal in the 2010s历任主编包括（B. E. Launder）、（F. W. Schmidt）、（T. Gatski）与（N. Kasagi），达姆施塔特工业大学的（Suad Jakirlic）曾在二十世纪一十年代执掌该刊。
• Robert Martinuzzi of the University of Calgary and Gongnan Xie of Northwestern Polytechnical University now serve as joint Editors-in-Chief卡尔加里大学的（Robert Martinuzzi）与西北工业大学的（Gongnan Xie）现任共同主编。
• The 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 4.8, against 3.1 in 2024, 2.643 in 2022 and 2.789 in 20212025 年影响因子为 4.8，2024 年为 3.1，2022 年为 2.643，2021 年为 2.789。

Editors

• Robert Martinuzzi of the University of Calgary works on turbulence and experimental fluid mechanics, while co-Editor-in-Chief Gongnan Xie of Northwestern Polytechnical University specialises in heat transfer enhancement卡尔加里大学的（Robert Martinuzzi）从事湍流与实验流体力学，共同主编西北工业大学的（Gongnan Xie）专攻强化传热。
• Suad Jakirlic of TU Darmstadt serves as Journal Development Editor, supported by managing editors Puhang Jin and Yue Hua达姆施塔特工业大学的（Suad Jakirlic）任期刊发展编辑，（Puhang Jin）与（Yue Hua）任管理编辑。
• Twelve associate editors sit on the journal, alongside an editorial advisory board of about thirty-five senior researchers本刊设有十二位副编辑，另有一个由约三十五位资深研究者组成的编辑顾问委员会。
• In total fifty-nine editors and board members come from sixteen countries, with the largest groups in the United States, China, France, Japan and the United Kingdom编委与编辑共五十九人，来自十六个国家，最大群体集中于美国、中国、法国、日本与英国。
• Review is single-anonymised: reviewers see the authors' names, but reports are not signed, and manuscripts normally go to at least two reviewers评审实行单匿名：审稿人可见作者姓名，但评审报告不署名，稿件通常送交至少两位审稿人。
• There is no pre-submission enquiry step, and editors recuse themselves from decisions on manuscripts involving close colleagues or family members本刊不设投稿前询问环节，涉及亲密同事或家属的稿件由相关编辑回避决定。
