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

High-fidelity numerical simulations have been performed to study the formation and fragmentation of liquid sheets formed by two impinging jets using an improved volume-of-fluid (VOF) method augmented with several adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) techniques. An efficient topology-oriented strategy was further established to optimize the performance and accuracy of the AMR algorithm. Two benchmark cases pertaining to low- and high-velocity impinging jets are simulated as part of a grid refinement study. Calculated jet dynamics show excellent agreement with experimental observations in terms of the rim shape, droplet size distribution and impact wave structures. Detailed flow physics associated with the temporal evolution and spatial development of the jets are explored over a wide range of Reynolds and Weber numbers. A realistic rendering post-processing using a ray-tracing technique is performed to obtain direct insight to the flow evolution. Special attention is paid to the dynamics of the impact wave which dominates the atomization of the injected liquid. The work appears to be the first systematic numerical study in which all the flow patterns formed by impingement of two liquid jets are obtained. Fine structures are captured based on their characteristic length scales. Various atomization modes, from stable to highly unstable, are resolved with high fidelity.
