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 deeper understanding of the water wave characteristics is essential for designing efficient energy extraction devices. An experimental study of the characteristics of waves was performed in a two-dimensional wave channel by varying the mean depth of water and the wave frequency. The orbital motion of particles in water waves has been of interest to researchers from both academic and practical perspectives. This orbital motion, which results from the directional velocities of the particles under waves at different phase positions, was studied with particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements and compared with theoretical calculations. The kinetic energy and the size of the orbits were found to be larger near the surface and reduce with increasing depth. It was also found that the wavelength reduces with increasing frequency as well as for reducing mean water depths, while the wave height and the wave power increase with frequency (for non-breaking waves). The wave power was found to be the highest for the case of maximum mean water depth in the wave channel.
