Each reviewer takes about two weeks (not absolute, at least that's what I've heard), with three weeks given for revisions. In short, this speed is simply excellent for someone nearing graduation.

蓝梦木子白水 2022-05-26

Submit the paper on April 25th;
Receive the preliminary review comments on May 19th, two reviewers, one suggests direct publication, the other raises four minor issues;
Submit the revised manuscript on May 24th;
Accepted on May 25th.
The whole process took one month, and the editorial handling of the manuscript was very efficient. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

The journal is very fast in terms of speed.

It has been revised many times,
all with tears.

Is there any requirement for the submission format?

Submit an experimental work. The speed of the review is absolutely top-notch, with feedback provided within 20 days of submission. Two reviewers provided 7 comments, one of which was particularly excellent. It took about 10 days to enhance the theoretical analysis, and it feels like it significantly improved the quality of the paper.

We always try to reply to the reviewers' comments directly and resolve any issues. We rarely beat around the bush or push back on the comments. If the reviewers' comments are not major issues, we try to accommodate them as much as possible. Therefore, after replying, the associate editor surprisingly did not send it back to the reviewers, but accepted it directly. This is the first time I have encountered this.

From submission to acceptance, it took a total of 33 days. It was my first time submitting to PoF, and the experience was really great. The review process was very clear and transparent. However, in comparison, the process was much more pleasant than JFM's submission process. I will definitely continue to try it for future work.

A total of four reviewers were sought, and they raised many professional questions. Having multiple reviewers also has its benefits. The number of articles published in POF has recently increased, but so has the number of submissions. My submission in August had a manuscript number of 4000, and I estimate that the annual number of submissions received is around five to six thousand. It's likely that about 80% of the manuscripts will be rejected.

Hello_mn. 2022-04-20

Top journal in the fluid industry, the review comments are also very professional, the review process is transparent and efficient. Will definitely submit again in the future if given the opportunity...

After 18 years, the volume of articles published by POF has nearly tripled, and the self-citation rate has also tripled. I estimate that the value of this journal is now equivalent to AST. The review efficiency is high, and there is an abundance of content.

阳光宅男 2022-02-07

Do we not need to write the Manuscript Significance when submitting to POF now? It was required before, but is it not necessary today?

wnengyg 2022-02-02

On the amount of articles published, it's been a wild run, self-citation is too high, dangerous!!!

wnengyg 2022-02-02

Rapidly increase the number of articles published~~~~~

Three reviewers: two minor revisions; one rejection, with bias. Ultimately rejected. The editor's reply letter stated that considering the reviewers' positions and other factors, even further revisions would not meet the requirements, leaving a bewildered expression.

May I ask if there are any requirements for the format when submitting a Word document for the first time?

Janseen 2022-01-01

The article was submitted on the last day of the 21st year, with a manuscript number of about 6.4k. Over 1,200 submissions were accepted in a year, so this means they are going to reject 80%. However, the processing speed is quite fast. Within a few hours of submission, the editor conducted an initial review and sent it back, asking for page numbers and the full names of abbreviated parts to be added. I hope it gets accepted. Wish me good luck, and wish everyone good luck too.

Why is it difficult to put into words?

The current state of POF is difficult to describe. The professional and responsible editing team is the soul of the journal.

Through two articles, both of them are major revisions. One of them, I personally considered it to be relatively weak, and the reviewer suggested increasing the workload, adding experiments. After making the additions, it took one month to be accepted. The other article involved theory, numerical modeling, and experiments. I believed it was good, but the reviewer felt it lacked innovation. In the end, minor revisions were suggested, and it was approved after one month.

I submitted two articles and both were sent for review. One article was accepted after major revisions, but the other received significant comments from all four reviewers and was rejected by the editor. Overall, the journal is excellent! The speed is absolutely top-notch, and if I have any good ideas in the future, I will definitely consider submitting to POF first!

How many reviewers are there usually?

Experience of Submission

The speed of review and the efficiency of editing at POF are first-class. The review process is particularly strict, with over 30 questions in the first review and over 20 questions in the second review. The reviewers focus on the key points, proving that it is indeed a top journal in fluid mechanics.

As a mainstream journal in fluid mechanics, its popularity has been increasing in recent years, and the quality of the articles inside has been getting higher and higher. I hope it continues to improve.

The review process is quite strict, but the editing speed is fast, and the submission system is user-friendly. The rejection process is also quick. I have submitted a total of 3 articles, and 2 of them were rejected. The feedback from the rejections was very helpful for improving the articles, and later they were published in JPSE and Fuel. It may be because the direction was not quite in line with the editor's taste.

伯努利equation 2021-03-22

The top 3 journals in fluid mechanics, the first one must be the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, followed closely by Physics of Fluids. Of course, it goes without saying that the comprehensive review journal of fluid mechanics, Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, is also included.
