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: 0.6 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: 0.6 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: 0.00013 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: 0.14 SJR: 0.201 SNIP: 0.313 CiteScore™:: 1.2 H-Index: 13

ABSTRACT

The flow in the intersecting region of two streams inside an X-shaped flow network is complex due to combined results of the ramming phenomena and the centrifugal force induced by the flow passage geometry. In order to determine the flow mechanisms, this study applies a combination of (1) the particle tracing method to observe streamlines, (2) the string method to visualize flow oscillations downstream from the intersecting region, and (3) the bubble tracer method to measure velocity vectors with the aid of particle image processing. Both the symmetric and asymmetric flows between the two branches are investigated. The intersecting angle and flow rates are varied to determine their effects on flow behavior. Flow oscillations in the downstream branches are found to be related to vortex formation.
