The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.1 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.0002 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.33 SJR: 0.256 SNIP: 0.49 CiteScore™:: 2.4 H-Index: 23

SINOPSIS

In the present paper, the free convection flow of a viscous incompressible fluid past a uniformly heated vertical slotted surface has been investigated numerically. The equations governing the flow and heat transfer are reduced to local nonsimilarity equations, treating ξ = λx/Grx1/4, where Grx is the local Grashof number) as a local slip variable. The transformed boundary layer equations are solved numerically using an implicit finite difference method for values of ξ in the interval [0, ). Asymptotic solutions are also obtained for both smaller and larger values of ξ, for the local skin friction, and local rate of heat transfer, and are found to be in excellent agreement with those obtained by the finite difference solutions for all ξ. From the present analysis, it is observed that an increase in ξ leads to increase the skin friction as well as heat transfer at the surface, which then leads to its asymptotic value that corresponds to the problem of natural convection along a nonisothermal vertical surface for a fluid of any Prandtl number.
