Pm. Waller et Dj. Hills, CHEMIGATION PIPELINE TRANSPORT MODEL FOR NONSOLUBLE PESTICIDE .1. THEORY, Transactions of the ASAE, 38(6), 1995, pp. 1699-1709
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.
