湍流是大多數(shù)流體流動中都存在的一種物理現(xiàn)象，是當(dāng)今科學(xué)技術(shù)前沿的一個重要研究課題。湍流雜志(JoT)是一個傳播新的理論、數(shù)值和實驗知識的數(shù)字論壇，旨在理解、預(yù)測和控制流體湍流。JoT提供了一個公共的場所來交流基礎(chǔ)和應(yīng)用特性的進(jìn)步，跨越許多學(xué)科，其中湍流發(fā)揮著至關(guān)重要的作用。例子包括湍流引起的工程流體力學(xué)(空氣動力學(xué)和流體動力學(xué)、顆粒和多相流、音響,水力學(xué),燃燒,空氣彈性,過渡流,渦輪機(jī),傳熱),地球物理流體動力學(xué)(環(huán)境流、海洋學(xué)、氣象學(xué)),物理學(xué)(磁流體動力學(xué)和融合、天體物理、低溫和量子液體),和數(shù)學(xué)(PDE的動蕩,模型系統(tǒng))。該電子雜志提供的多媒體功能(包括免費彩色圖像和視頻電影)，為以視覺上令人印象深刻的方式傳播湍流研究提供了一個獨特的機(jī)會。

Turbulence is a physical phenomenon occurring in most fluid flows, and is a major research topic at the cutting edge of science and technology. Journal of Turbulence ( JoT) is a digital forum for disseminating new theoretical, numerical and experimental knowledge aimed at understanding, predicting and controlling fluid turbulence.JoT provides a common venue for communicating advances of fundamental and applied character across the many disciplines in which turbulence plays a vital role. Examples include turbulence arising in engineering fluid dynamics (aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, particulate and multi-phase flows, acoustics, hydraulics, combustion, aeroelasticity, transitional flows, turbo-machinery, heat transfer), geophysical fluid dynamics (environmental flows, oceanography, meteorology), in physics (magnetohydrodynamics and fusion, astrophysics, cryogenic and quantum fluids), and mathematics (turbulence from PDE’s, model systems). The multimedia capabilities offered by this electronic journal (including free colour images and video movies), provide a unique opportunity for disseminating turbulence research in visually impressive ways.
