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

ABSTRACT

The essentials of fluid mechanics in a long orifice with cavitation are first introduced in order to clarify the different results found in the literature. In the process equations useful to calculate the discharge coefficient and the conditions at the onset of cavitation are found from first principles. The second part of the article presents an experimental study of the flow in a relatively large-scale channel, which was used to reproduce the flow pattern in a square-edged diesel injector orifice by dynamic similarity. A fixed cavity was formed at the corner of the orifice inlet by reducing the absolute pressure in the flow. The Reynolds number of the flow was maintained at about 13,800. Both cavitating and noncavitating flows were measured by using a laser Doppler velocimeter. Significant changes in mean flow and turbulence have been found in the presence of the cavity. Turbulence in the cavitating flow is higher and decays more slowly than that in the noncavitating flow. This could explain the sudden increase in spray angle that is observed in diesel fuel injectors at the onset of cavitation.
