Abstract: This paper describes a mathematical model for the hydraulic characterization of a field-scale solid set sprinkler irrigation system with a double-line lateral layout configuration. Formulation of the basic hydraulic equations ...

Abstract: A mathematical model for a field-scale hydraulic characterization and simulation of solid set sprinkler systems with single-line and double-line lateral layout configurations is developed. This paper describes the hydraulic ...

Abstract: A review of the derivation of the Penman–Monteith equation with the thermodynamic approach of Monteith is presented in a companion manuscript. The resultant set of equations (expressed in terms of latent heat flux, lf, ...

Abstract: The application of agricultural chemicals to crops in the form of aqueous solutions or emulsions blended with irrigation water (often referred to as chemigation) is widely practiced in modern farming systems. Optimal ...

Abstract: A system of equations, with strong physical basis, was derived for sprinkler irrigation droplet dynamics in the companion paper. Numerical solution of these equations and model evaluation is discussed in this paper. With ...

Abstract: Droplet dynamics simulations are key to predicting sprinkler irrigation precipitation patterns. This paper includes derivations of equations describing droplet motion through a steady, uniform horizontal airflow (wind). ...

Abstract: Cumulative infiltration was computed as a function of time-varying ponded water depths using a Green and Ampt analysis. The input water depths were field-measured values from two irrigation events on Superstition sand, one ...
