Modeling of design parameters of sprinklers of wide-span irrigation machines

Abstract

To date, Russian and foreign scientists and engineers have accumulated considerable experience in designing sprinkler nozzles of various types used both on wide-reach sprinkler machines and when spilling lawns, gardens and flower beds. In most cases, the choice of design and technological parameters was based on experimental studies and the dependences obtained on their basis for specific operating conditions, operating modes and the structures themselves. Nevertheless, there was no generalized calculation methodology, and, consequently, clear recommendations on and their applicability in various meteorological conditions, for soils of different physical andmechanical composition. The article simulates the process of interaction of the water flow with the elements of the sprinkler nozzle. The results obtained were used in the design of sprinkler nozzles with curved deflectors.
