Experimental and Simulation Investigation on the Kinetic Energy Dissipation Rate of a Fixed Spray-Plate Sprinkler

Sprinkler irrigation is promoted due to its remarkable advantages in water conservation, but the high energy consumption limits its development in a situation of energy scarcity. In order to determine the energy consumption of a fixed spray-plate sprinkler (FSPS), its discharge and initial trajector...
