Journal of Turbulence

Journal of Turbulence is a digital forum from Taylor & Francis for theoretical, numerical and experimental work on fluid turbulence, and it reaches readers only online, with one ISSN covering the electronic edition.《湍流杂志》是 Taylor & Francis 旗下的数字论坛，收理论、数值与实验三类流体湍流研究，只在线上发行，电子版用一个 ISSN 覆盖。

Volume one opened in 2000 and volume twenty-seven runs through 2026, so a volume maps onto a calendar year and pagination carries on across the numbered issues of that year.第 1 卷于 2000 年开出，第 27 卷走到 2026 年，卷与日历年一一对应，页码在该年各个期号之间连续编排。

The 2025 Journal Citation Reports place it at an impact factor of 1.9 and a five-year value of 1.8, 114th of 172 in mechanics and 28th of 43 among fluids and plasmas titles.2025 年期刊引证报告给出影响因子 1.9 与五年值 1.8，力学类目 172 种里排第 114 位，流体与等离子体物理类目 43 种里排第 28 位。

Scope

• The editors frame the subject plainly: turbulence occurs in most fluid flows and sits at the leading edge of science and technology, so understanding, prediction and control become the three aims.编辑部把题目说得很直白，湍流出现在大多数流体流动之中，处在科学与技术的前沿，理解、预测与控制因此成为三条主线。
• Work is gathered under four disciplinary headings, engineering fluid dynamics first, then geophysical fluid dynamics, physics and mathematics, each carrying its own vocabulary and its own idea of what counts as evidence.来稿按四个学科群归拢，先排工程流体力学，随后是地球物理流体动力学、物理学与数学，每一群自带词汇，也自带对证据的看法。
• Aerodynamics and hydrodynamics open the engineering list, followed by particulate and multiphase flow, acoustics and combustion, while aeroelasticity, transition, turbomachinery and heat transfer appear just as often.工程一侧从空气动力学与水动力学展开，颗粒流及多相流、声学与燃烧紧接其后，气动弹性与转捩、叶轮机械与传热出现的频率同样高。
• Geophysical fluid dynamics brings environmental flows, oceanography and meteorology onto the same pages, which is why atmospheric boundary layer studies sit beside pipe flow work instead of in a separate journal.地球物理流体动力学把环境流动与海洋学、气象学带进同一批版面，大气边界层研究与管道流动因此并排出现，而没有各自另投他刊。
• Under physics the scope names magnetohydrodynamics and fusion, astrophysics, and cryogenic and quantum fluids, a spread that few turbulence titles of similar size attempt to hold in one place, and the editorial page sets it out without hedging.物理学一项列出磁流体力学与聚变、天体物理、低温流体及量子流体，这样宽的跨度在同领域刊物里少见。
• Mathematics closes the list with partial differential equation approaches to turbulence and with model systems, the reduced settings in which a closure idea can be tested without a wind tunnel.数学收尾，偏微分方程路线的湍流研究与模型系统都在其中，后者是无需风洞即可检验封闭假设的简化设定。
• Simulation supplies most of the papers. Direct numerical simulation and large-eddy simulation appear side by side with Reynolds-averaged closures, and hybrid formulations that blend the last two draw steady attention.模拟类稿件占了大半，直接数值模拟与大涡模拟并置，雷诺平均封闭也在其列，把后两者接起来的混合方法长期受关注。
• Wall-bounded turbulence forms a standing theme, from channel and pipe flow to rough walls, where drag, Reynolds stress budgets and the superstructures that carry near-wall momentum all get measured.壁面湍流是常设主题，槽道与管道流动之外还有粗糙壁面，阻力、雷诺应力收支以及携带近壁动量的超大尺度结构都有人测量。
• Compressible work reaches hypersonic speeds, and shock-wave boundary layer interaction, wall temperature effects and the decay of supersonic jets all recur across recent volumes, mostly through large-eddy and Reynolds-averaged calculations.可压缩方向的稿件触及高超声速，激波与边界层干扰、壁温效应以及超声速射流的衰减在近几卷反复出现。
• Rotation and stratification enter through Taylor-Couette flow, spanwise rotating ducts and buoyancy-driven layers, geometries in which Coriolis and gravity terms reshape the cascade, so the textbook Kolmogorov picture no longer applies.旋转与分层从 Taylor-Couette 流动、展向旋转槽道以及浮力驱动层进入刊物，这些几何里科氏项与重力项会改写级串本身。
• Particles, droplets and bubbles are treated as part of the flow rather than as passengers, so two-way coupling, preferential concentration and modulation of the carrier phase all appear.颗粒、液滴与气泡被当作流动的一部分看待，双向耦合与择优聚集以及对载流相的调制都有讨论。
• Measurement keeps a firm place. Particle image velocimetry and laser Doppler velocimetry arrive with the calibration and uncertainty accounting that a field experiment demands, and hot-wire work is equally at home.测量占的位置很稳，粒子图像测速与激光多普勒测速常带着现场实验所需的标定与不确定度核算出现，热线测量同样常见。
• Statistical description runs through the whole remit, with velocity and passive scalar spectra, structure functions, anisotropy invariants and inertial-range intermittency treated as subjects in their own right.统计描述贯穿全部范围，速度谱与被动标量谱、结构函数都在其中，各向异性不变量以及惯性区间歇性本身就是选题。
• Machine learning has entered the closure problem, and recent issues carry physics-informed networks and convolutional models trained to reproduce subgrid stresses that a classical eddy viscosity cannot supply.机器学习进入封闭问题，近几期有物理信息神经网络与卷积模型，用来复现经典涡黏假设难以给出的亚格子应力。
• Applications reach wind energy and the built environment, from the wake behind a turbine blade to wind loading on tall buildings, and they share space with fundamental scaling studies.应用面向风能与建筑环境，从风机叶片后的尾流到高层建筑的风荷载，都与基础标度研究共用版面。
• Method papers appear as well, covering smoothed particle hydrodynamics, spectral elements and high-order schemes, since the accuracy of a turbulence calculation depends on the discretisation as much as on the model.方法论文同样在列，光滑粒子流体动力学与谱元方法各有其位，湍流计算的精度既系于模型，也系于离散方案。

History

• The journal opened with volume one in 2000, and Crossref, which holds the earliest deposit for the title, records thirteen items for that first year, against twenty-two for 2001 and fifty-eight for 2002.刊物于 2000 年以第 1 卷开出，Crossref 为该年记下 13 条著录，2001 年为 22 条，2002 年增至 58 条。
• It was built as an electronic journal from the start, a decision still visible in the numbering, since the print and electronic designations share the single number 1468-5248.创刊即按电子刊设计，这一取向在编号上留了痕迹，印刷版与电子版共用 1468-5248 一个号。
• Ownership has stayed inside one group. Crossref names the publisher as Informa UK, the registered imprint behind Taylor & Francis, and the editorial office sits at Milton Park in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.版权归属始终在同一集团之内，Crossref 记的出版方为 Informa UK，那是 Taylor & Francis 的注册主体，编辑部设在牛津郡 Abingdon 的 Milton Park。
• Counting volumes gives the arithmetic. Volume one is 2000 and volume twenty-seven is 2026, so a single volume has closed in every calendar year since the launch, without a break.卷号可以倒推出年表，第 1 卷对应 2000 年，第 27 卷对应 2026 年，每年恰好走完一卷，中间没有断档。
• For the first thirteen volumes the record carries no issue number at all, so those years read as one continuous stream of articles, which is what a purely digital journal could do.前 13 卷的著录里没有期号，那些年份看起来是一条连续不断的文章流，数字刊恰好可以这样办。
• Numbering began with volume fourteen in 2013, when twelve issues appeared, and volumes fifteen through eighteen kept that same twelve-number pattern, which the earlier volumes had never carried.2013 年第 14 卷起开始编期，当年出了 12 期，第 15 卷到第 18 卷延续每月一期的做法。
• Combined numbers arrive with volume nineteen in 2018, where the last two months share a single issue, and by 2024 the year closes in seven entries such as 1-3 and 4-6.合期从 2018 年第 19 卷开始，该年末两月共用一期，到 2024 年全年只剩七个编号，像 1-3 与 4-6 这样的合并期已成常态。
• Pagination ignores those boundaries. Volume twenty-seven runs from page one to page 264 across four numbered entries, so a reader can cite a paper without knowing which issue carried it.页码并不理会这些界分，第 27 卷从第 1 页走到第 264 页，只分成四个编号，引用一篇论文时不必知道它落在哪一期。
• Deposits total 1,122 DOIs, of which 1,059 belong to the back file and 63 to current content, and every one of them sits under the 10.1080 prefix shared across the group.著录总数 1122 条，其中 1059 条属存卷，63 条属当期内容，DOI 一律落在集团通用的 10.1080 前缀之下。
• Output is small by design. The 2025 release counts twenty articles for the year, and a cited half-life of 13.1 years says the back volumes keep being drawn on long after publication.年发文量不大，2025 年报告记为 20 篇，被引半衰期 13.1 年说明旧卷在出版多年之后仍被取用。
• Impact factors have moved inside a narrow band, 1.403 in 2021 and 2.395 in 2022, then 1.5, 1.6 and 1.9 in the three most recent releases, with citations totalling 1,630 and no return to the 2022 peak.影响因子在窄幅区间里起伏，2021 年 1.403，2022 年 2.395，最近三次公布为 1.5、1.6 与 1.9，总被引 1630 次。
• Both categories place it in the third quartile, 114th of 172 in mechanics and 28th of 43 in physics, fluids and plasmas, while the Journal Citation Indicator stands at 0.44.两个类目都把它放在第三四分位，力学 172 种里第 114 位，流体与等离子体物理 43 种里第 28 位，期刊引文指标 0.44。
• Open access has stayed selective, with 12.86 percent of the 2025 output appearing gold, so a reader outside a subscribing institution still meets a paywall on most papers.开放获取一直是有选择的，2025 年有 12.86% 的论文以金色方式发表，机构未订阅的读者在多数文章上仍会遇到付费墙。

Editors

• Ugo Piomelli of Queen's University in Canada holds the editorship, a large-eddy simulation specialist whose papers on wall models and near-wall treatment are standard references in the field.主编是加拿大 Queen's University 的 Ugo Piomelli，专长大涡模拟，他在壁面模型与近壁处理上的论文是本领域的常引文献。
• Three editors share the load with him: Robert Martinuzzi at the University of Calgary, Chao Sun at Tsinghua University and Federico Toschi at Eindhoven University of Technology.另有三位编辑与他分担事务，分别是 University of Calgary 的 Robert Martinuzzi、清华大学的 Chao Sun 与 Eindhoven University of Technology 的 Federico Toschi。
• An advisory board sits above the working editors, its membership drawn from turbulence groups on several continents, which matches a readership that spans engineering, geophysics, physics and mathematics.工作编辑之上还设顾问委员会，成员来自数个洲的湍流研究组，这与横跨工程、地球物理、物理与数学的读者构成相合。
• Because the journal is digital, the editors can accept material a printed page could not carry, and the scope statement promises free colour images and video films alongside the text.刊物以数字形态出版，编辑因此可以收录纸页装不下的材料，征稿说明里承诺随正文提供免费彩图与影片。
• Manuscripts come in through the publisher's online system, and the instructions for authors sit on the journal's Taylor & Francis pages rather than in a printed style sheet.稿件经出版方的在线系统递交，投稿说明放在刊物的 Taylor & Francis 页面上，不另出纸质体例表。
• Peer review runs on the publisher's anonymised model, and reports are sought from specialists in the branch a paper addresses rather than from a standing panel of generalists.评审走出版方的匿名流程，意见取自稿件所属分支的专家，而非一组通才组成的常设小组。
• A study that couples simulation to an experiment, or a closure model to a geophysical measurement, will normally be read by people from both sides, since the remit itself crosses four disciplines.同时涉及模拟与实验的稿件，或把封闭模型接到地球物理观测上的稿件，通常由两侧的专家分别审读，刊物范围本就横跨四个学科群。
• Accepted papers appear on the publisher's site before an issue closes, so the record holds items with page ranges and no volume yet, and readers can work from them at once.录用稿在期号编定之前就出现在出版方网站上，著录里因此有只带页码而无卷号的条目，读者可以立即使用。
• Papers carry their numerical set-up in unusual detail, since readers in this field expect to repeat a calculation rather than take its result on trust, and referees read the tables with that in mind.论文把数值设定写得相当细，本领域读者习惯复算，而不是直接采信结果，审稿人看表格时也抱着同样的想法。
• Corrections are published as separate notices tied to the original DOI, so a citation made years ago can still be traced to its current status without going back through the whole article.更正以独立声明刊出，并与原文 DOI 挂钩，多年前的引用仍能追到它当前的状态。
