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

This paper has presented a correlation for local solid velocity distribution for solid-liquid slurries flowing through horizontal pipelines. This correlation is derived using data obtained through exhaustive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations run for a wide range of physical, geometric, and working parameters. The grain size range analyzed during this study belongs to the category of pseudo-homogeneous or mildly heterogeneous solid-liquid slurries. These data are obtained using a duly validated Eulerian multiphase model, whose applicability is ascertained for the slurry flow cases under consideration. Two curve fitting techniques have been employed for these data. The applicability realm of derived correlation is widespread due to the comprehensive data set used.
