An Alternative Analytical Approach to Designing Paired Lateral Lines for Microirrigation on Slopes
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In localized irrigation systems, paired lateral lines are characterized by the dimensioning of two lateral lines installed in the opposite direction along the same manifold line. In this study, an alternative, simple, and ...
Intercomparison Testing and Evaluation of Sprinklers within the INITL
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The International Network of Irrigation Testing Laboratories (INITL) undertook a sprinkler intercomparison testing exercise to generate data for an objective comparison of the performances of the different facilities and ...
Minor Losses through Start Connectors in Microirrigation Laterals: Dimensional Analysis and Artificial Neural Networks Approaches
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: In microirrigation systems, start connectors are used at lateral-manifold or microtube-lateral junctions, and minor losses occur when water flows through the start connectors. The connector’s geometry may cause contractions ...

Abstract: The International Network of Irrigation Testing Laboratories (INITL) undertook a sprinkler intercomparison testing exercise to generate data for an objective comparison of the performances of the different facilities and ...
Prediction of Pressure–Discharge Curves of Trapezoidal Labyrinth Channels from Nonlinear Regression and Artificial Neural Networks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Emitters are important components of drip irrigation systems, and the use of labyrinths as a mechanism of energy dissipation stands out in the drippers’ design. Relating the geometric characteristics of labyrinths with ...
