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

The current paper studies the potential effect of using tilted injectors on internal nozzle flow characteristics. This kind of injector has been commonly chosen for 2-valve diesel engines. In order to achieve similar spray targeting in a 4-valve configuration, the injector design needs to be modified, inducing a different angle on each of the nozzle holes with respect to the injector axis. To study the implications of this kind of nozzle design, a vertical and a tilted injector have been analyzed for two kinds of hole shape: tapered, which suppresses cavitation; and cylindrical, which is more prone to cavitating flow. A two-component surrogate model has been used to emulate the physical properties of a typical commercial diesel fuel. Full three-dimensional flow simulations have been performed, using a flash boiling model to capture the phase transition induced by cavitation. The simulations have been conducted at the full needle lift condition. The results show that there is a significant influence of hole angle on the mass flow distribution through the nozzle, as well as on the flow pattern and the outlet velocity profile, leading to an asymmetric spray distribution inside the combustion chamber. It is also demonstrated that cavitation formation is affected by the hole angle.
