Abstract
A mathematical model of dispersed phase transport of a nonsoluble pest icide in an irrigation pipeline is derived. Eulerian and Lagrangian ap proaches are used at high and low turbulence intensities, respectively . An equation is derived by equating pesticide surface tension and vis cous forces to irrigation water drag force at the injection nozzle in order to estimate mean dispersed-phase chemical drop size within the i rrigation pipeline.
