Physics of Fluids (PF) publishes papers on theoretical, computational, and experimental fluid dynamics (including gas dynamics, hydrodynamics, and multiphase flow). From its site http://scitation.aip.org/phf/, you can download abstracts and even full texts of the papers published as early as 1968.


The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (JASA) is the leading source of theoretical and experimental research results in the broad interdisciplinary subject of sound. JASA is the most cited journal in Acoustics. The Journal serves physical scientists, life scientists, engineers, psychologists, physiologists, architects, musicians, and speech communication specialists. The Journal selects for publication only articles that have a clear identification with Acoustics. It uses a peer review system in the determination of which submitted manuscripts should be published. The Associate Editor and the reviewers who examine the manuscript are the authors' peers: persons with comparable standing in the same research field as the authors themselves. The home page of JASA is http://asa.aip.org/jasa.html.


The Acoustics Research Letters Online (MVR) is an electronic letters journal of the Acoustical Society of America . It is devoted to research in all fields of acoustics. ARLO articles can be found through the Scitation platform of the American Institute of Physics.


The IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control (TUFFC) is the official journal of the Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society. It publishes original articles in physical acoustics, medical ultrasonics, acoustic microscopy and imaging, ferroelectrics, frequency control, and other areas of acoustics. This journal has a high impact factor (more than 1.4) and an excellent peer-review system (three peer-reviewers for each article). The journal web site is http://www.ieee-uffc.org/tr/.


Ultrasonics is the internationally established journal which covers the entire field of ultrasound research and technology and all its many applications. It publishes top quality original research papers and review articles by world renowned experts. Its publisher is Elsevier. Further information on the journal can be found at the publisher's web site.
