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 Euler/Lagrange approach is a powerful numerical tool for the prediction of poly disperse two-phase flows. In the present article this method is applied to the calculation of spray evolution by taking into account the two-way coupling between the phases, i.e., the gas and droplet phases, and droplet evaporation. Moreover, a new stochastic droplet-droplet collision model based on the kinetic theory of gases was developed. The model takes into account grazing and coalescing collisions, which are found to be very important even for the low-speed turbulent spray considered.
For validating the numerical results with regard to the spray evolution and the effects of droplet coalescence, detailed experimental studies were performed for two hollow-cone spray nozzles. In order to provide the required information concerning the spray characteristics sufficiently resolved, i.e., gas velocities, droplet size distributions, droplet mass fluxes, and droplet velocities, phase Doppler anemometry was applied.
The comparison of measurement and prediction showed excellent agreement for the profiles of the mean properties of both phases and the local droplet size distributions and size-velocity correlations. Moreover, the calculations revealed that the frequently observed increase of the integral droplet Sauter mean diameter along the spray is due mainly to coalescence, white the impact of droplet evaporation is of minor importance.
