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: 1.2 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: 1.8 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 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: 0.00095 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: 0.28 SJR: 0.341 SNIP: 0.536 CiteScore™:: 1.9 H-Index: 57

RÉSUMÉ

Although fire sprinklers have been used for over a century for fire suppression, little is known about the character of the spray. Particle image velocimetry was used to measure the droplet velocity near the sprinkler in sprays generated from several typical fire sprinklers. The spray near the sprinkler is essentially radial, with a virtual origin for the spray velocity that is between the orifice and the deflector for pendant sprinklers and between the orifice and 0.05 m above the deflector for upright sprinklers. The maximum radial velocity in the spray ranges from 5.8 to 14.1 m/s, depending on the sprinkler and the pressure in the sprinkler pipe. The spray velocity profiles near sprinklers are dependent on the azimuthal angle and the elevation angle, though not strongly dependent. There is very little difference in the velocity profiles for pendant and upright sprinklers. However, in some cases the measured velocity can be related to sprinkler features such as notches in the deflector. Scaling the radial velocity using the water density and pressure as Ur(ρ/P)1/2 collapses the droplet velocity profiles over a wide range of pressures. The average radial velocity at a distance 20 cm from the sprinkler is approximately 0.6(P/ρ)1/2, while the maximum radial velocity in the spray 20 cm from the sprinkler is 1.0(P/ρ)1/2. The spray velocity profiles reported here are available for use in the National Institute of Standards and Technology's "Fire Dynamics Simulator," a computational model for fires and fire suppression based on large-eddy simulation techniques.
