Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences

The Royal Society’s physical sciences research journal, publishing high-quality research and review articles from all disciplines in the physical sciences. This is a Plan S compliant Transformative Journal.
 <p><b>Cover image</b><br>Royal Society Publishing Photography Competition 2023 Earth science winner ‘A crack in time’ by Chia-Hsin Tsai. The photo was taken during an undergraduate field course at the Corinth Canal in Greece in September 2022. The image depicts a typical outcrop, showcasing normal faults within extensional tectonics setting. The Corinth Canal sits in the centre of the neotectonic depression and cuts through numerous normal faults. These faults displaced the Middle to Late Pleistocene lacustrine and marine stratigraphy with evident sedimentary structures. The near-vertical fault plane indicates potential lateral movements as well. The canal was being excavated for expansion when this photo was taken, rendering the outcrop was fresh. Notably, a surveyor with a measuring tool was captured coincidentally as a great scale. Camera: Nikon D5300 at a focal length of 55mm, aperture f/6.3, ISO 630 and exposure of 1/640 second. Lens: 18–55 f3.5–6.5.' Minimal adjustments were applied via the iOS app Photos.</p>

Evolution of spray and aerosol from respiratory releases: theoretical estimates for insight on viral transmission

By modelling the evaporation and settling of droplets emitted during respiratory releases and using previous measurements of droplet size distributions and SARS-CoV-2 viral load, estimates of the evolution of the liquid mass and the number of viral copies ...Read more

The reflection of a blast wave by a very intense explosion

We demonstrate that the geometric similarity of Taylor’s blast wave persists beyond reflection from an ideal surface. Upon impacting the surface, the spherical symmetry of the blast wave is lost but its cylindrical symmetry endures. As the flow acquires ...Read more

Electrocharging face masks with corona discharge treatment

We detail an experimental method to electrocharge N95 facepiece respirators and face masks (FMs) made from a variety of fabrics (including non-woven polymer and knitted cloth) using corona discharge treatment (CDT). We present practical designs to ...Read more

Aims and scope

Proceedings A

Proceedings A publishes articles across the chemical, computational, Earth, engineering, mathematical, and physical sciences. The journal publishes research papers, as well as short reviews containing original and interesting new ideas. The articles published are high-quality, original, fundamental articles of interest to a wide range of scientists, and often have long citation half-lives. As well as established disciplines, we encourage emerging and interdisciplinary areas.
