JOURNAL OF FLUID MECHANICS

It is a reliable journal. The first review took three months and was returned on time. It required major revisions and provided professional and targeted comments. After careful revisions for four months, it was resubmitted. The second review took two months and required minor revisions. Many professional comments were still provided and changes were necessary. It was difficult to make some of the changes and it felt on the verge of collapse, but a patient and careful response was still provided. After the revision was submitted, it was accepted.

The first time submitting to JFM, I truly felt the rigor of the journal. There were countless times when I wanted to give up, but I held on. I don't know if it's a tight-knit community, but taking the feedback seriously can still be helpful for personal growth.

The article started with 19 pages in the initial submission, then increased to 27 pages in the second submission, and eventually reached 30 pages in the third submission. I still can't believe that I was able to produce this work. If given the opportunity, I would still choose JFM. It has greatly contributed to my improvement. Finally, after two years of work, it has come to an end~

Submitted at the end of October 2021, received review comments on November 20th, and the first review took 27 days!! Can't believe it.
There were four reviewers in the first review, two minor revisions and two rejections. The reviewers who rejected it should be industry experts, mainly because the theoretical analysis was not thorough enough.
Spent two months on major revisions, racked my brain for theories, and finally transformed completely.
The second review only took two weeks, and all four reviewers accepted it. In total, it took more than five months from start to finish.
If the experiment, numerical simulation, and theoretical model analysis and prediction are all good, it is relatively easy to get accepted.
Thumbs up to the speed and editors of the journal. As long as you focus on revising well, it will greatly improve your work.
