First submission after working for a year, took over three months for the first review, the reviewers were very professional and provided many constructive comments. After major revisions for two months, with efforts on clarifying the mechanisms and improving the reliability of the experimental methods, nearly 10 pages of content were added. Hoping for a positive outcome in the second review!

Before resubmitting, it might be more appropriate to write a letter to the editor to inquire about the suitability of the revised content and the fit with the journal. Many people encounter this issue

Is this considered fluid dynamics? Hasn't Davidson also written a book on MHD? I feel like people just don't want to accept it. The first time they rejected you, you continued to submit. The second time they might have been annoyed and simply found a reason to say the topic doesn't match

Sharing a confusing matter, the latest JFM submission discusses the energy and scalar spectra of buoyancy-driven flow and electrically-driven flow, with the editor being Davidson.
One first reviewer, four reviewers, one acceptance, two major revisions, and one rejection. The editor rejected it, and the issues were more focused on the presentation than the content.
After two months of modifications, it was resubmitted, with Davidson still being the editor. However, it was directly rejected on the grounds that the submitted content did not belong to fluid mechanics.
I wonder if any colleagues have had similar experiences or understand the reasons for this?

Last year submitted JFM Rapids, received reviews a month later, three reviewers, one positive, one negative, one neutral, and was ultimately rejected outright. Reluctantly resubmitted to POF.
This year made a second attempt (JFM Papers), a year and a half of work, submitted in mid-August, received reviews in mid-October, three positive reviews, only given one month to make revisions, minor revisions submitted in early November, now awaiting the results.
JFM Rapids require highly innovative results but do not require complete systematic integrity. It was pointed out that our rapid submission was rejected because the problem was not clearly described (rapids require 10 pages or less). Additionally, it is said that three positive reviews are required for a rapid to be accepted.
JFM Papers aim for systematic integrity, with innovation being essential as well, mostly long articles. Even if there is one negative review, there is still a chance.
In conclusion, the reviewers at JFM are all top-notch, they really understand their stuff!

I want to ask, isn't rapid supposed to be one month? I invested in July, but it's already September and it hasn't been approved yet

Overall, each time there was at least one extremely diligent and rigorous reviewer, who could not tolerate any flaws.

May I ask what is the difference between JFM rapids and JFM, and what is their relationship?

The first review took a little over a month, with a total of three reviewers, and required major revisions. The reviewers were very professional and rigorous, providing many targeted comments and suggestions that greatly helped improve the quality of the article.
After the first review, we were given two months to make the revisions, and we completed them about ten days ahead of schedule. The second review took about one and a half months (with high efficiency in the review process). Only one reviewer had some suggestions regarding the expression. After submitting the modifications, it took two days to be accepted.
From submission to acceptance, it took approximately four months.

What direction is "大佬" in? Congratulations.

First trial took 4 months with three reviewers, two positive and one negative, requiring major revisions. 
Given three months to make the revisions, an extension of 1.5 months (equivalent to 4.5 months total) was requested for re-submission. 
The second trial took 2.5 months with three positive reviews and was accepted.

JFM Rapids is indeed fast, with feedback on the review provided within one month. There were three reviewers and a 14-day period given for revisions. After resubmission, the acceptance was received within three days. As a fluid person, it is truly exciting to be able to publish on JFM.

First review lasted for over 3 months, with two major revisions and one rejection. The editor thought the innovation was good and provided an opportunity for modification. After adding a significant amount of content, it was changed from rapid to regular review. After two rounds of minor revisions, it was finally accepted. The overall improvement was significant, as the journal is very rigorous and has high requirements. Thanks to the reviewers and editors!

First trial, four months, two positives and one negative, not sure if it can succeed or not.

What journal is JFM? Which one deserves your article, bro? I think it's suitable for submission to the Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics. Only this one can barely match your article. JFM is too exclusive, they don't appreciate good articles at all. Keep it up, submit to ARFM! Go for it.

But where did JFM go after its decline? Physics Review Fluids? Definitely not POF... or maybe PRE?

Submitted at the end of October 2021, received review comments on November 20th, and the first review took 27 days!! Can't believe it.
There were four reviewers in the first review, two minor revisions and two rejections. The reviewers who rejected it should be industry experts, mainly because the theoretical analysis was not thorough enough.
Spent two months on major revisions, racked my brain for theories, and finally transformed completely.
The second review only took two weeks, and all four reviewers accepted it. In total, it took more than five months from start to finish.
If the experiment, numerical simulation, and theoretical model analysis and prediction are all good, it is relatively easy to get accepted.
Thumbs up to the speed and editors of the journal. As long as you focus on revising well, it will greatly improve your work.
