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 brief review is made of more recent studies of spin-up flows in a cylinder. The major points of the classical models of spin-up, dealing with the transient process of fluid adjustment to the change in the rotation rate of the container, are discussed. The specific topics that are covered here include the spin-up of a homogeneous fluid from rest, transient flow of a stratified fluid from a state of rest, and transient deformation of the free surface of a liquid in an abruptly rotating cylinder. Assessments are made of the various flow models that have been proposed, and comparisons are made among the analytical predictions, numerical computations, and experimental data. The fundamental dynamic interplay of the Ekman boundary layer and the inviscid interior is stressed.
