Experiments in Fluids publishes research papers concerned with the development of new measuring techniques and with their extension and improvement for the measurement of flow properties necessary for the better understanding of fluid mechanics. Equally it publish research papers concerned with the application of experimental methods to the solution of problems of aerodynamics basic fluid dynamics combustion hydromechanics convective heat transfer hydrodynamics turbo machinery turbulence two-phase flows chemical biological and geological flows. Papers which report on analysis of flow problems in conjunction with experiments are also welcome and this applies particularly to contributions where combinations of experimental and advanced numerical techniques allow new information of flow characteristics. Shorter communications offer an opportunity for rapid publication and should not exceed the page equivalent of 1500 words.
