About the journal
|
Flow Measurement and Instrumentation is dedicated to disseminating the latest research results on all aspects of flow measurement, in both closed conduits and open channels. The design of flow measurement systems involves a wide variety of multidisciplinary activities including modelling the flow sensor, the fluid flow and the sensor/fluid interactions through the use of computation techniques; the development of advanced transducer systems and their associated signal processing and the laboratory and field assessment of the overall system under ideal and disturbed conditions. FMI is the essential forum for critical information exchange, and contributions are particularly encouraged in the following areas of interest:
Modelling: the application of mathematical and computational modelling to the interaction of fluid dynamics with flowmeters, including flowmeter behaviour, improved flowmeter design and installation problems. Application of CAD/CAE techniques to flowmeter modelling are eligible.
Design and development: the detailed design of the flowmeter head and/or signal processing aspects of novel flowmeters. Emphasis is given to papers identifying new sensor configurations, multisensor flow measurement systems, non-intrusive flow metering techniques and the application of microelectronic techniques in smart or intelligent systems.
Calibration techniques: including descriptions of new or existing calibration facilities and techniques, calibration data from different flowmeter types, and calibration intercomparison data from different laboratories.
Installation effect data: dealing with the effects of non-ideal flow conditions on flowmeters. Papers combining a theoretical understanding of flowmeter behaviour with experimental work are particularly welcome.
Multiphase behaviour: whether purpose-designed, or adapted from single-phase operation, coverage of systems for single-phase liquid and gas flows, multiphase flows having solid, liquid and gas phases, and slurries and pastes is equally welcome.
Associated measurements and secondary instrumentation: for example, density, viscosity and secondary instrumentation effects.
All contributions are subject to peer review, and additional features include:
Review articles
Case studies
Letters to the editor
Patent surveys
Book reviews
Calendar of events and conference reports
Flow Measurement and Instrumentation is essential reading for instrumentation engineers in the oil, gas, power, chemical, food, water and waste treatment industries, manufacturers of flowmeters, and academics involved in research in this area.

Instructions to Authors
Submission
Authors should submit four copies of their contribution to the Editor-in-Chief, the Associate Editor, or one of the Regional Editors; their addresses can be found on the journal's inside front cover.
All papers will be reviewed and assessed by independent referees.
Contributions
Contributions falling into the following categories will be considered:
Original high quality research papers (preferably of not more than 20 typescript pages).
Short communications, for rapid publication (of not more than 10 typescript pages).
Manuscripts
Manuscripts should be typed in double spacing on one side of A4 paper with wide margins. All pages should be numbered consecutively.
Language
The language of the journal is English.
Style
The manuscript should be organized in the following order: Title; authors and affiliations; abstract (not exceeding 200 words in length); keywords; main body of paper (divided into numbered sections and subsections); acknowledgement (where applicable); references; appendices (where applicable). An abbreviated title of less than 40 characters (including spaces) should also be suggested.
Illustrations
Photographs, charts and diagrams are to be referred to as Figure(s)' and should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned. They should accompany the manuscript but should not be included in the manuscript pages.
Original line drawings or glossy prints (preferably not photocopies), suitable for immediate reproduction, should be submitted. All illustrations should be clear and suitable for reduction (to 50% original size). Lettering must be clear and open and must also be large enough to be reduced by the same proportion.
Figure legends should be typed on a separate sheet and placed at the end of the manuscript. The amount of lettering on a drawing should be reduced as far as possible by transferring it to the legend.
Authors will be charged for colour at current printing costs. In cases where colour is paid for, authors will receive an additional 100 free offprints.
Mathematical expression
Mathematical symbols and formulae should be typed. Particular care should be exercised in identifying all symbols and in avoiding ambiguities. Distinction should be made between the number one (1) and the letter l, and between the number zero (0) and the letter o.
Vectors and tensors should be marked clearly on the manuscript.
Equation numbers should appear in parentheses; equations must be numbered consecutively. All equation numbers must appear on the right-hand side of the equation and should be referred to within the text.
Use the following sequence of parentheses:)]}.
Tables
Particular care is needed to ensure that tables are clearly and legibly set out.
References
References to published literature should be quoted in the text by numbers in square brackets, [1]. References should be listed together at the end of the paper in numerical order. Double-spacing must be used throughout. Journal references should be arranged thus:
1. E. Hinton, and N.V.R. Rao, Structural shape optimization of shells and folded plates using two-noded finite strips. Computers and Structures 46 (1993) 1055-1071.
Book references are given as follows:
2. M.F. Ashby, Materials selection in mechanical design. Oxford: Pergamon Press (1992).
Units
All measurements and data should be given in SI units, or, where SI units do not exist, in an internationally accepted unit. Each paper should be self-consistent as to symbols and units which should all be properly defined.
Proofs
Page proofs will be sent to the author (or the first-mentioned author in papers of multiple authorship unless otherwise indicated) for checking. The corresponding author should supply a full postal address, and where possible, a fax number. Corrections to the proofs must be restricted to printer's errors: any other changes to the text, in equations or grammar, may be charged to the author. Authors will be asked to return proofs within 48 hours of receipt.
The original manuscript and diagrams will be discarded one month after publication unless the publisher is requested to return original material to the author.
Reprints
The corresponding author will receive twenty-five offprints of the paper and one copy of the journal free of charge. Extra reprints and copies of the journal may be ordered using the order form that accompanies the proofs.
Copyright and originality
By submitting an article to the journal, authors warrant that it presents original, unpublished work, not under consideration for publication elsewhere. A copyright form explaining the various copyright conditions will be sent to the author with the proofs.
It is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission from authors and publishers of any previously published material; text, tables, figures, etc.
Submission of ACCEPTED articles on disk
Authors are requested, where possible, to submit electronic versions of accepted papers.Full details of electronic submission and formats can be obtained from the Author Gateway submission guide.
