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

Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) measurements and model predictions of the liquid film thickness formed on a flat surface during impingement of fuel sprays formed from low-pressure gasoline injectors are reported. The obtained measurements guide the development of a mathematical model employed to numerically predict the formation and transport of the wall liquid film. The governing film flow equations are based on the continuous Eulerian approach and are formulated according to the thin-film boundary layer framework. Extended parametric studies investigate the sensitivity of the model to different type and order of spatial and temporal discretization schemes. Governing parameters for the spray representation and wall impingement process are addressed, and their influence upon the behavior of the fuel film development is investigated. Droplet impact pressure is identified as the main driving force of the film transport process, as revealed through an order-of-magnitude analysis on the terms considered in momentum conservation equations. Model parameters defining the characteristics of the incident fuel droplets are additionally proved influential. Predictions under different injection conditions are compared against the temporal evolution of liquid film thickness at various locations over the impact wall. The numerical results capture the wavy variation of film thickness during the fuel film formation and transport along the solid surface from the time of impingement until equilibrium conditions have been reached. The latter is achieved at the final stages of mass exchange with the impinging jet, and it is well reproduced, although a tendency to under predict the peak thickness values during the initial and more transient stages of the formation process is revealed.
