    The Japan Society of Fluid Mechanics

    The Japan Society of Fluid Mechanics (JSFM) originated from a voluntary party of researchers working on fluid mechanics in 1968. The objectives of the society were to discuss about scientific and engineering problems relevant to fluid motion among researchers working in Physics, Engineering and the interdisciplinary fields and to assist in their research activities.

    "Fluid Dynamics Research" whose first volume was published in 1986 is the official journal of the JSFM. "Fluid Dynamics Research" is a well-established international journal of Fluid Mechanics, published six times per year by IOPP (Institute of Physics Publishing) on behalf of the JSFM since 2009.

INVITED REVIEW

Recommended by S Kida

Recent developments in the study of droplet motion in turbulent flows are reviewed with emphasis on particle acceleration and clustering, and the effects of turbulence on raindrop formation. There is also some discussion of the relationship between laboratory experiments and field observations, of the history of laboratory experiments, and of the relationship between art and science in early cloud studies.
