Air pollution due to pesticides is a persistent problem in modern agriculture, and little is
known on the reversibility of its effects on the environment and health. Pesticides …

Spray drifts have been studied by mathematical models and computer simulations as an
essential complement to lab and field tests, among which are fluid dynamic approaches that …

Recently, multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) becomes more and more significantly
irreplaceable in the field of plant protection against diseases, pests and weeds of crops. The …

A random-walk model, IDEFICS, is described to compute downwind spray drift from
conventional boom sprayers in chemical crop protection. Spray deposits are computed …

This paper presents a numerical investigation of inlet air pre-cooling with water sprays to
enhance the performance in Natural Draft Dry Cooling Towers (NDDCT). A 3-D numerical …

Fully revised with new content and full-colour figures throughout, the second edition of this
successful book contains expanded content for all sections, particularly those covering the …

Two field experiments compared spray deposits and losses from very fine (volume median
diameter (VMD)= 156μm), fine (VMD= 198μm) and medium (VMD= 237μm) quality spray …

In the present study, spray cooling heat transfer characteristics were numerically
investigated under the heat flux ranging from 50 to 170 W/cm 2. Effect of nozzle height and …

The application of pesticides is not simply delivering chemicals to the target area. It also
involves considering the negative aspects and developing strategies to deal with them …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD), numerical analysis and simulation tools of fluid flow
processes have emerged from the development stage and become nowadays a robust …
