Abstract: In this paper the writers report the results of an experimental investigation on flow-resistance law in small-diameter plastic pipes. The experiments were carried out for a wide range of Reynolds number values obtained by ...

Abstract: In this paper an experimental investigation was carried out to deduce an evaluating procedure of local losses due to the protrusion of emitter barbs into the flow in drip-irrigation lines. Local losses corresponding to ...

Abstract: This paper compares two agro-hydrological models that are used to schedule irrigation of a typical Mediterranean crop. In particular, a comparison between the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) model, which uses a ...

Abstract: Agro-hydrological models are considered an economic and simple tool for quantifying crop water requirements. In the last two decades, agro-hydrological physically based models have been developed to simulate mass and energy ...
