Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This paper investigates the ventilation elimination mechanisms during the deceleration process of a surface-piercing hydrofoil using the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method together with a Volume of Fluid (VOF) model. The numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental data. The ventilation elimination mechanism of the surface-piercing hydrofoil is analyzed from the perspectives of the hydrofoil hydrodynamic performance, the ventilated cavity evolution, vortex structures, and re-entrant jets. The results indicate that the ventilation elimination includes three stages, i.e. a decrease in the ventilated cavity, washout, and reattachment. The decrease in the ventilated cavity is due to the hydrofoil speed decrease in the FV flow. Washout is the transition from fully ventilated to partially ventilated flow, and reattachment is the transition from partially ventilated to fully wetted flow. The underwater vortex structures around the surface-piercing hydrofoil are composed of a tip vortex, an unstable vortex induced by the shear layer, and a Karman vortex caused by the vortex shedding from the trailing edge of the hydrofoil. Ventilation stability strongly depends on the re-entrant jet. When Φ (the angle between the flow direction and the closure line of the ventilated cavity) is greater than 45°, the re-entrant jet impinges on the ventilated cavity's leading edge and destabilizes the ventilated cavity.
