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

One of the most commonly used methods of liquid atomization is the rotary atomization. In this process a radially spreading thin liquid film is created on a surface of a rotating disk, due to centrifugal forces. The liquid flows over the disk edge and disintegrates. The liquid film is mostly wavy. The radially propagating waves induce fluctuations resulting in an expansion of the drop size distribution after atomization. An experimental apparatus has been built to investigate the effect of the film dynamics on the atomization process. A water jet is impinging at the center of a rotating disk made of stainless steel. The local instantaneous film thickness is measured using a confocal chromatic sensoring technique. The drop sizes are determined using the shadowgraphy method. The film flow on the rotating disk has been investigated in a wide range of parameters. The strongly wavy structure of the film flow has been observed for all sets of parameters. The development of waves depends on the nozzle-to-disk distance. The radial distribution of the time-averaged film thickness over the disk surface agrees fairly well with the correlations found in the literature. First results of the drop size distribution show a bimodal distribution for low liquid mass flow rates.
