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

ABSTRACT

A new turbulence model has been derived in a manner such that the first equation for the turbulence transport is consistent with the second equation for the relaxation rate. In addition an equation has been derived for the transport of the internal energy fluctuations. The Mu-Beta turbulence model has then been applied to compressible flow through a small gap with heat transfer using only three turbulent constants. These are the same constants that were used in the turbulent Couette flow problem. The model predicts the friction coefficient and the Nusselt number over a large range of Reynolds number. For the particular case of a hot gas over a cold wall, the predicted Nusselt number is less than the standard values usually given for fully developed turbulent flow. One possible explanation for this prediction is that the gas viscosity increases moving away from the cold wall due to the higher gas temperature. As a consequence, the Nusselt number is less than that for fully developed turbulent flow.
