《流體工程雜志》向機械工程和其他工程學科的研究人員和設計師傳播有關流體力學的技術信息。大多數論文都呈現出原始的分析、數值或實驗結果以及物理解釋的持久科學價值。其他論文則致力于審查對某一主題的最新貢獻，或對方法的描述，和/或最近成熟領域的物理意義。此外，對該期刊的貢獻還強調了研究技術、分析方法、計算流體力學和實驗方法，如激光多普勒測速、熱膜和熱線測速、粒子圖像測速以及它們出現時的其他創新進展。

The Journal of Fluids Engineering disseminates technical information in fluid mechanics of interest to researchers and designers in mechanical engineering, and other engineering disciplines. The majority of papers present original analytical, numerical or experimental results and physical interpretation of lasting scientific value. Other papers are devoted to the review of recent contributions to a topic, or the description of the methodology, and/or the physical significance of an area that has recently matured. In addition, contributions to the Journal emphasize investigative techniques, analytical methods, computational fluid mechanics, and experimental methods such as Laser-Doppler-Velocimetry, hot film and hot wire anemometry, Particle-Image-Velocimetry, and other innovative advances as they appear.
