Sprinkler Irrigation Droplet Dynamics. I: Review and Theoretical Development

Volume: 142, Issue: 5
Published: May 1, 2016
Abstract
Droplet dynamics simulations are key to predicting sprinkler irrigation precipitation patterns. This paper includes derivations of equations describing droplet motion through a steady, uniform horizontal airflow (wind). The assumptions on which sprinkler irrigation droplet dynamics is based are stated, and the limitations they entail are highlighted. The motion of droplets is treated as an impulsively started accelerated motion of rigid spheres,...
