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: 0.6 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: 0.6 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: 0.00013 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: 0.14 SJR: 0.201 SNIP: 0.313 CiteScore™:: 1.2 H-Index: 13

ABSTRACT

This experimental study deals with convective heat transfer and flow features in the vicinity of an array of 3D short insulated surface-mounted square cylinders along an inclined plate and under uniform heat-flux density conditions. The experiments were conducted in water with the use of poor conductivity prisms so that both conduction and radiation effects could be neglected. Experiments on the flow and heat transfer were performed for slight inclination angles varying clockwise in the range −20° to +20° around the vertical position. Flow visualizations were carried out with particle-streak and dye-emission techniques to examine the flow field around the protrusions. The experimental analysis highlighted the strong influence of the plate inclination angle on the formation of rotational flows, 3D transverse flows, and separation phenomena in open cavities. Moreover, the positions that best enhanced heat transfer were found to be those corresponding to the positive angle range where 3D transverse flows occupy all open cavities.
