Due to the multi-disciplinary nature of the journal, JAFM is targeted to a broad community interested in different aspects of applied fluid mechanics. This community primarily consists of Mechanical Engineers, Chemical Engineers, Civil Engineers, Aerospace Engineers, Environmental Engineers, Nuclear Engineers, Aeronautics and Astronautics, and Metrological Scientists. JAFM covers all aspects of experimental/applied fluid mechanics below. We also consider submissions on theoretical and numerical applied mechanics provided that they emphasis applied aspects of fluid mechanics.

The journal serves as a focal point of contact and exchange for the many specialists and practitioners concerned with applied aspects of fluid mechanics. Thus, the topics above are not restricted and may be evolved and modified from time to time. Each field may be used as the keywords for assigning manuscripts to the corresponding Associate Editors.
