Study on hydraulic performance of drip emitters by computational fluid dynamics
Q Wei, Y Shi, W Dong, G Lu, S Huang - Agricultural Water Management, 2006 - Elsevier
Because of small size and complex structure of labyrinth-channel used in most drip emitters,
it is not possible to observe the flow behavior of water passing through the channel. In this …
