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 cavitating flow through an orifice is investigated by the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with an ANSYS CFX solver. Turbulence is described by the Menter shear stress transport (SST) model, mass transfer due to cavitation by the Rayleigh−Plesset based default cavitation model. A grid study following the best practice guidelines known from literature has shown as not sufficient enough for the simulation of a cavitating flow. When refining the grid monitor values e. g. the mass flow rate reached convergence at a certain amount of elements, whereas the cavitation zones itself changed in shape and location until a significantly high resolution is reached. The SST turbulence model calculates the boundary layer with a wall function approach at high YPLUS values and resolves it at small YPLUS values. The accuracy of the simulation was increased by avoiding the use of the wall function approach.
