Vugs and fractures are the main channels within porous rock aquifers and play a dominant
role in the water inrush of the karst tunnel. In this paper, a mathematical model of the …

Highlights•A model for hydraulic calculation of flushing drip-irrigation system was
developed.•The simulation accuracy of the model was verified by experimental data.•The …

Microirrigation plants, if properly designed, allow for water use efficiency to be optimized and
high values of emission uniformity to be obtained in the field. Disposing paired laterals, for …

The objective of this paper was to assess the performance of Hydrus-2D model to simulate
the effects of different on-farm irrigation strategies applied on potato crop. The ability of the …

It is often assumed that total head losses in a sand filter are solely due to the filtration media
and that there are analytical solutions, such as the Ergun equation, to compute them …

A good hydraulic design of drip irrigation systems requires an accurate evaluation of the
friction head loss that occurs in pipes as well as the local head loss induced by the presence …

Matlab software named PRESUD (Pressurized Subunit Design) was developed to identify
the optimum microirrigation subunit design using the annual water application cost per unit …

The hydraulic performance of thin-wall lay-flat polyethylene pipes with non-coaxial emitters
were evaluated in this study. Two experiments were performed to measure the dimensional …

The use of lay-flat polyethylene pipes to irrigate horticultural crops has been receiving
widespread attention in the last decade, due to the significant improvements in their …

The presence of emitters along the lateral, as well as of connectors along the manifold,
causes additional local head losses other than friction losses. An accurate estimation of …
