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: 0.7 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: 0.7 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: 0.1 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: 0.00016 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: 0.18 SJR: 0.313 SNIP: 0.6 CiteScore™:: 1.6 H-Index: 16

ABSTRACT

In this paper a test setup to analyze the flow of gels in a constriction is presented as well as some first results of the tests performed. Two different gels and a Newtonian fluid were pressed through the test geometry, which is a pipe with a constriction. The pressure loss and the velocity field were measured, out of which the streamlines were derived. The gels showed some interesting effects concerning pressure losses in comparison to Newtonian fluids under certain boundary conditions within the tested geometry. Since different boundary conditions cause different flow patterns, some flow patterns are shown, and reference to some other analyses in literature is given. The test geometry was designed to be relevant to injector inflow geometries.
