物理(非線性現象)出版研究和評論文章，報告實驗和理論工作，技術和思想，促進對非線性現象的理解。主題包括物理、化學和生物系統中的波動;受非線性場方程控制的物理或生物現象，包括流體動力學和湍流;模式形成與合作現象;不穩定、分岔、混沌和時空混亂;可積/哈密頓系統;非線性系統的漸近分析和更一般的數學方法。

Physica D (Nonlinear Phenomena) publishes research and review articles reporting on experimental and theoretical works, techniques and ideas that advance the understanding of nonlinear phenomena. Topics encompass wave motion in physical, chemical and biological systems; physical or biological phenomena governed by nonlinear field equations, including hydrodynamics and turbulence; pattern formation and cooperative phenomena; instability, bifurcations, chaos, and space-time disorder; integrable/Hamiltonian systems; asymptotic analysis and, more generally, mathematical methods for nonlinear systems.
