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.

Modeling a right royal butterfly effect
The monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus, is renowned for its striking appearance and perhaps even more than that, its remarkable long-distance migration. The population present in North America heads south each year in the late-summer, early autumn, traveling thousands of miles to its wintering grounds.
Article Description
The current study aims to examine the flow field around a monarch butterfly wing at different angles of attack. A fully opened forewing configuration for the monarch butterfly wing has been selected for analysis at a maximum chord length. To mimic the membrane of the real monarch butterfly wing, the thickness of the wings has been taken as 0.15 mm. In this study, the Reynolds number is calculated as 9,724 for a 5 m/s freestream velocity. The effect of the angle of attack has been investigated between α ∈ [0, 40º] with a 2ºincrement from 0ºto 10º, and a 10ºincrement from 10ºto 40º. The aerodynamic coefficients are compared with the experimental and numerical results available in the literature. Furthermore, the vortex dynamics for different angles of attack are investigated to understand leading-edge vortex deformation.
