Format your manuscript to the Journal of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics requirements — abstract, numbered Springer mathematics style references, and required declarations — and submit through Editorial Manager without a formatting rejection.

A strong study can still bounce at Journal of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics before review if the manuscript ignores the journal’s formatting requirements. This template is built around JMFM’s actual requirements — its abstract rules, numbered Springer mathematics style references, and the required declarations — so your submission clears screening on the first pass. Everything below tracks the JMFM author guidelines; check it directly if anything looks out of date by the time you submit.
It’s a manuscript shell set up to JMFM’s specifications for the mathematical theory of fluid dynamics — PDEs, analysis, and rigorous results. Journal of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics is published by Springer (Birkhäuser). The shell covers the title page, the abstract, a body in an introduction, main results and proofs, and discussion order, and a reference list in numbered Springer mathematics style.
Start with the title page (authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs). The abstract is a concise abstract stating the main results. JMFM also expects Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC) codes. The body follows an introduction, main results and proofs, and discussion, and the reference list uses numbered Springer mathematics style. Close with the declarations block: conflict of interest and funding.
Beyond that, match your article type’s specific limits rather than assuming the defaults apply, keep numbered Springer mathematics style formatting consistent from the first draft, and submit only through Editorial Manager — email submissions aren’t processed.
The shell mirrors what JMFM’s editorial staff check first: abstract format and length, numbered Springer mathematics style reference formatting, and a complete declarations block. For the journal’s full aims and scope, see the JMFM journal home page. JMFM offers an open-access option; check the current article-processing charge and any waiver before you commit. Manuscripts go in through Editorial Manager, which also tracks your paper through peer review.
| Element | JMFM requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | a concise abstract stating the main results |
| Main text | an introduction, main results and proofs, and discussion |
| Declarations | Conflict of interest and funding |
| Figures / tables | Captioned, cited in order; check format and resolution rules in the guide |
| Supplemental | Large datasets, extra tables, code — uploaded separately and cited in text |
| Submission | Editorial Manager |
Read the JMFM author guidelines once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after your results are stable so it matches the paper. Set numbered Springer mathematics style as your reference style before adding a single citation — retrofitting it later is where errors creep in. Prepare Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC) codes early rather than leaving it to the end.
Skim two or three recent JMFM papers to calibrate depth, structure, and figure style. State your contribution in the first two paragraphs, not on page ten. Write a data-availability statement that names a real repository rather than a placeholder, and disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in your cover letter. Confirm current open-access pricing and any institutional agreement before committing to a fee.
Do one focused pass against the JMFM author guidelines: scope fit, abstract format, length, numbered Springer mathematics style references, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through Editorial Manager.
