Journal of Fluid Science and Technology (JFST) is an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal that aims for contributing to the development of fluids engineering by publishing Regular Articles of basic and applied studies on flow physics and fluids engineering. JFST provides its global authors with full peer-review services to select original, innovative and important work by theoretical, experimental and numerical approaches.
The editorial committee invites the submission of original papers of a broad range of topics spanning turbulent flows, multiphase flows, non-Newtonian fluid flows, functional fluid flows, bio-fluid flows, quantum and molecular flows, wave, flow acoustics, flow-induced vibration, free-surface flows, cavitation flows, fluid machinery, methods for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and experimental fluid dynamics (EFD).
The editorial committee will make all efforts for promoting strictly fair and speedy review for submitted articles. All JFST papers will be available for free at the website of J-STAGE (https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/browse/jfst), which is hosted by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST). Thus papers can be accessed worldwide by lead scientists and engineers. In addition, authors can express their results variedly by high-quality color drawings and pictures.
JFST is an international journal published by the Fluids Engineering Division in the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME). JSME had been publishing Bulletin of the JSME (1958-1986) and JSME International Journal (1987-2006) by the continuous volume numbers. Considering the recent circumstances of the academic journals in the field of mechanical engineering, JSME reorganized the journal editorial system. Namely, JSME discontinued former International Journals and projected new publications from the divisions belonging to JSME. The Fluids Engineering Division acted quickly among all divisions and launched the premiere issue of JFST in January 2006.
This journal publishes articles relating to follwoing keywords.

Special issues we are going to publish are as follows:
Vol.21 No.1 (January, 2026)
Submission starting date: August 5, 2025
Submission Deadline: August 31, 2025
Note: Please select a Section/Category "20th Anniversary Commemorative Issue(JFST)" on Editorial Manager.
The Journal of Fluid Science and Technology (JFST) was first published in 2006 and will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2026. To commemorate this milestone, we are planning a special 20th Anniversary Commemorative Issue featuring invited papers from researchers closely associated with JFST.
Over the past two decades, JFST has been supported by numerous researchers as a peer-reviewed Open Access journal covering a wide range of topics, from the fundamentals of fluid mechanics to engineering applications. Thanks to the dedicated efforts of many contributors, the journal has been indexed with a Journal Impact Factor (JIF) since 2018.
We deeply appreciate the continued support of JFST’s contributors and readers and look forward to receiving high-quality invited papers from those who have played a significant role in the journal's development.
Vol.21 No.4 (October,2026)
Submission starting date: October 26, 2025
Submission Deadline: March 31, 2026
Note: Please select a Section/Category "Special Issue of 11th JSME-KSME Thermal and Fluids Engineering Conference (JFST:J-K TFEC11)" on Editorial Manager.
The Eleventh JSME-KSME Thermal and Fluids Engineering Conference (J-K TFEC11) was successfully held in Okinawa, Japan from October 22 to 25, 2025. The purpose of this conference was to promote friendship among Japanese, Korean and all nations experts in thermal and fluid engineering, and to promote the exchange and development of information on the latest research and technology in the fields of thermal and fluids engineering.
This year, four plenary lectures were given by the cutting-edge researchers in these fields, and more than 400 oral presentations were made in 22 different Organized Sessions and 2 General Sessions. The speakers of high-quality presentations in the field of fluids engineering are now encouraged and welcomed to submit their latest achievements including the contents of their presentations to Journal of Fluid Science and Technology (JFST).
