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

RÉSUMÉ

The analytical and numerical results of a natural convection boundary layer flow on a vertical heated plate are presented. We specifically look at the effects of heat flux and plate temperatures on the development of a physical boundary layer along its heated surface. The plate temperature and heat flux examined are 9 ≤ T(°C) ≤ 100 and 50 ≤ qP ≤ 553 (W/m2) respectively. The results show that the variation in plate temperature has a significant effect on transition and the difference between the temperature of the air and the plate has even more effect on the transition particularly when TP ≤ 60°C. The transition on the constant heat-flux plate is less affected by air temperature and mostly depends on the quantity of heat flux. A Realizable k−ε turbulent model with an enhanced wall function is employed in a numerical simulation, and important results, including the distribution of maximum velocity, and kinetic energy and its production along the heated plate, are examined for a selection of air temperatures. The results indicate that the production of kinetic energy reaches its peak at the transition stage, and both the velocity and turbulent kinetic energy increase sharply at the turbulent flow regime. Analytical and numerical results are compared with those of various relevant experimental studies and found to be in good agreement with them.
