You can increase the accuracy and effectiveness of your searches on Google Scholar by adding "operators" that fine-tune your search terms. In some cases, you can add operators right in the Google Scholar search box; other times, you'll want to use the Advanced Scholar Search page.

Includes articles covering theoretical, computational and experimental investigations of all aspects of the mechanics of fluids. Each issue contains papers on both the fundamental aspects of fluid mechanics, and their applications to other fields such as aeronautics, astrophysics, biology, chemical and mechanical engineering, hydraulics, meteorology, oceanography, geology, acoustics and combustion.

This journal publishes papers in the areas of aerodynamics, boundary layers, bubbly flows, cavitations, compressible flows, convective heat transfer, duct and pipe flows, free shear layers, flows in biological systems, fluid-structure interaction, fluid transients and wave motion, jets, multiphase flows, naval hydrodynamics, sprays, stability and transition, turbulence, and wakes. In addition, contributions to the Journal emphasize investigative techniques, analytical methods, computational fluid mechanics, and experimental methods like laser-Doppler velocimetry, and hot film and hot wire anemometry.

* NACA Collection: Citations and reports from the NACA Technical Report Server (TRS), http://naca.larc.nasa.gov, are now in NTRS. The NACA TRS site is retired and no longer in service following the consolidation of citations and reports into NTRS. The NACA collection is historical information from the NACA period lasting from 1915 to 1958.
* NASA Collection: Citations and documents created or sponsored by NASA. The NASA collection time period starts in 1958 and continues to the present.
* NIX Collection: Citations and images, photos, movies and videos downloaded from the NASA Image eXchange and served out through NTRS. NIX is a separate system and users can go directly to the NIX to search imagery as well as through NTRS.

The Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, in publication since 1969, covers the significant developments in the field of fluid mechanics, including history and foundations; non-newtonian fluids and rheology; incompressible and compressible fluids; plasma flow; stability of flow; multi-phase flows; mixing and transport of heat and species; control of fluid flow; combustion; turbulence; shock waves and explosions.
