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: 0.5 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: 0.8 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: 0.2 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: 0.00018 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: 0.11 SJR: 0.286 SNIP: 1.032 CiteScore™:: 1.6 H-Index: 10

ABSTRACT

In this article the mesoscopic lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) is used to simulate the flow in a rectangular capillary tube. Combining the free energy model with the thermal model, a hybrid LBM is proposed for two-phase fluids. This hybrid LBM is used to simulate the gas-liquid phase change process of capillary tube flows. The consequences show that the temperature of the center of the tube is higher than that of the circumferential wall before the phase change. The phase change starts at the center of the tube, then the gas expands along the axial direction of the capillary tube, and finally the center of the entire tube is almost filled with the gas. In gas-liquid two-phase flow of the capillary tube, the velocity of gas is much higher than that of liquid. It is found that the pressure drop has a great influence on gas-liquid phase change of the capillary tube.
