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

During the collision of two planar streams, atomization characteristics of liquid sheets are closely related to the surface wave. The present study focuses mainly on the features of the surface wave in planar liquid streams colliding. For the impingement of low-speed laminar jets, the formation and development of the surface wave stem from the interaction between the sheet and surrounding air. A linear stability-based model considering the cross-sectional velocity profile is used to determine the features of the surface wave. To derive the velocity distribution in proximity to the impact point and determine the characteristic cross section, a two-dimensional model of planar liquid streams colliding is established, and results show that the central velocity of υx is the lowest and the overall velocity gradually tends to smooth when the cross section moves away from the impact point. The effects of Weber number, gas-liquid density ratio, velocity profile, and impingement angle on the surface wave features are also explored.
