Effects of Parameters Variation of Fractal Flow Path on the Emitter Hydraulic Performance with Path Analysis

Article Preview

Abstract:

Flow path is one of the key components of drip irrigation emitter. Four factors of fractal flow path section area, length, tooth highness and tooth number are interosculated nearly each other, and the influencing process of flow path to hydraulic performance parameters was analyzed with path analysis. The section area and length of the flow path were the main factor affecting on the flow exponent and flow coefficient of drip irrigation emitter, and other ones less. Reducing the section area could debase the emitter flow exponent, and reducing section area and increasing the length of fractal flow path could debase the flow coefficient.
