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: 1.1 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: 1.3 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: 0.0002 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: 0.33 SJR: 0.256 SNIP: 0.49 CiteScore™:: 2.4 H-Index: 23

ABSTRACT

This paper presents a numerical modelling of the strongly swirling turbulent compressible flow and temperature/energy separation in a counter-flow vortex tube. A comprehensive two-dimensional vortex tube model is developed which incorporates an algebraic Reynolds stress model (ASM). Computations, based on a finite volume method, were carried out by utilising the k-ε model and the ASM for the closure of the second-order correlation moments in the governing equations. The modelling of turbulence for compressible, complex flows used in the simulation is discussed. The numerical results for a counter-flow vortex tube describe the detailed characteristics of the axial/tangential velocity, static/total pressure, static/total temperature fields based on the k-ε model and the ASM, which are the important to design and operation of the vortex tube.
