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: 0.4 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: 0.00005 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: 0.07 SJR: 0.198 SNIP: 0.48 CiteScore™:: 1.1 H-Index: 20

ABSTRACT

The object of this study is three-dimensional simulation of the initiation phase of an electric arc in a low-voltage circuit breaker. The model uses tabulated values for radiative cooling, the physical properties of the plasma and the equation of state. Coupled Navier−Stokes and Maxwell equations are solved by a mixed finite-element/finite-volume method on a moving grid mesh, allowing the electrodes to move apart in a realistic manner. Different test cases were used to verify each modification of an existing numerical scheme to treat the arc problem. Preliminary results show the birth of the arc, followed by its growth and displacement within the inter-electrode gap.
