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 primary atomization was studied experimentally for several flow configurations, in a planar airblast atomizer. The liquid sheet injected had a 300μm thickness. The employed techniques were Laser Oscillometry, LDV-PDI, PIV and flow visualization via fast camera. In the liquid flow, the momentum flux was varied by injecting both water and kerosene JET A1 at several velocities. Conversely, the airflow momentum flux was modified by adjusting both its velocity and absolute pressure. The latter parameter reached a value of 11bar. The atomization mechanisms described in the literature at standard conditions, were observed at the high pressure environments, as long as, the momentum flux ratio, M, remained constant. Furthermore, a new atomization mechanism was observed for values of M beyond 20. This regime was referred as membrane break-up due to the predominant structures observed. The results presented in this manuscript correspond to characteristics related to the sheets's motion: The global oscillation frequency, the wave velocity gradient in the intact sheet region and the sauter mean diameter far from the injector lips. Furthermore, these variables displayed a weak change both in magnitude and behaviour with the changes in atomization mechanisms. A set of empirical relations are provided to link these characteristics witht the flow conditions.
