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

Entrained air velocities, caused by the movement of droplets from an agricultural flat-fan nozzle through the air, have been determined in vertical and radial directions within the spray by measuring the velocities of small droplets used as tracers for air movement. The distributions of droplet volume median diameter and mean liquid velocity within the spray were also measured using a PMS laser imaging probe. The spray volume distribution in a horizontal plane below the nozzle was recorded.
The radial air velocity component declined with distance from the nozzle, r, and with angle from the centerline, θ. Liquid velocity, mean droplet size, and spray volume distribution also varied with r and θ. A model developed to predict the entrained air velocities was adapted in order to be compared with the experimental results. The model predicts well the variation of entrained air velocity with r, but the measured velocity declines more quickly with θ than with the model.
