Simulação de pressão e vazão ao longo de tubulação de sistemas de irrigação pressurizada.

Abstract

A computer model was developed to simulate pressure and discharge simulation along pipes of pressurized irrigation systems. The program runs in the WINDOWS environment and it is capable of simulating practically any type of sprinkler irrigation systems and localized irrigation systems. The predictive capability of the model was tested by comparing simulated pressure heads and flow rates with measured data for two sprinkler irrigation systems. The model proved to be a practical tool for upgrading and designing pressurized irrigation systems.
