Abstract: Physically based modeling of the interacting water flow during a furrow irrigation season can contribute to both a sustainable irrigation management and an improvement of the furrow irrigation efficiency. This paper presents ...

Abstract: A surge running down a dry wadi bed as a consequence of a controlled water release from a reservoir—e.g., for artificial groundwater recharge—represents a free boundary problem. After some time, when aiming for groundwater ...

Abstract: Surface–subsurface flow during furrow irrigation is analyzed employing both a laboratory experiment and a surface–subsurface flow model. The proposed model overcomes the restrictions of traditional furrow irrigation models ...

Abstract: Surge flow phenomena, e.g., as a consequence of a dam failure or a flash flood, represent free boundary problems. The extending computational domain together with the discontinuities involved renders their numerical solution ...

Abstract: Physically based modeling of the coupled one-dimensional surface and two-dimensional (2D) subsurface flow during furrow irrigation advance often causes numerical instabilities and nonconvergence problems. This is particularly ...

Abstract: Numerical simulation of the two-dimensional (2D) infiltration process during furrow irrigation requires considerable computational effort, which can be reduced by analytical modeling. This paper deals with the further ...

Abstract: Manning’s roughness coefficient is one of the input parameters in many surface irrigation simulation models. It affects the velocity of flow and thereby its variation with time and distance along the field length influence ...
