Fluids & Plasmas in Physics (PFP)
Section Information
Fluids and Plasmas in Physics focus on the behavior of liquids, gases, and ionized matter under various physical conditions. The field studies flow dynamics, turbulence, instabilities, wave propagation, and transport processes in both neutral fluids and electrically conducting plasmas.
Current research includes hydrodynamics, magnetohydrodynamics, plasma confinement, astrophysical plasmas, fusion physics, and nonlinear flow phenomena. Advances in high-speed diagnostics, numerical simulation, and laboratory experiments are improving understanding of complex fluid and plasma systems.
This section publishes theoretical analyses, experimental investigations, computational modeling studies, and review articles related to fluid mechanics and plasma physics across laboratory, industrial, and astrophysical settings.
