Journal of Experiments in Fluid Mechanics was founded in 1987 with the name Aerodynamic Experiments and Measurement Control. In 1997 it was renamed as Fluid Mechanics Experiments and Measurements， and in 2005 the present name was put to use. Sponsored by China Aerodynamics Research Society， the journal is a synthesis of academic and technical developments publically released bimonthly. The present editor in chief is academician Jialing Le. The main interest of the journal is placed on new information， cutting edge achievements and novel trends in the field of experimental fluid mechanics， particularly aerodynamics. With the guiding ideology of combining theory with practice， it puts emphasis on the innovation， novelty and practicability of the papers. The journal is composed of columns of progress review， fluid mechanics experimental theory， experimental research and technology， experimental validation of CFD， project assessment and so on. It is intended for technicians， researchers and students active in the fields related to experimental fluid mechanics.

Journal of Experiments in Fluid Mechanics is elected as Chinese key journal in the field of aeronautics and astronautics. It is included by notable international databases such as EI Compendex （2007-2012）， Chemical Abstracts ‘CA’， Russian Abstracts Journal ‘РЖ’， and Japanese Science and Technology Abstracts Letter ‘JST’， as well as domestic databases such as Chinese Science Quotation Data System， Chinese Academic Journal Evaluation Data System， Chinese Academic Journal Abstracts， Chinese Mechanics Abstracts， Chinese Academic Journals （disc）， ChinaInfo， and so on.

The website of the journal is http://www.syltlx.com. The online processing of the papers is realized， including paper submission， peer review， and release of the online version. Search and download services are provided to both authors and readers. The journal is printed in color using coated paper， guaranteeing the quality of texts and figures.

Journal of Experiments in Fluid Mechanics has been endeavoring to improve its academic quality and expand its international influence. It is intended to develop in the direction of globalization and digitalization， aiming to provide a high class academic communication platform in the field of fluid mechanics. We are sincerely expecting more support and help from experts in this field by submitting or recommending outstanding papers， strictly guarding a pass with peer review， and offering comments and suggestions. Let’s work together for the improvement and progress of Journal of Experiments in Fluid Mechanics!
