Sediment Transport and Wall-Collision Dynamics in a Cylindrical Asteroid-Shaped Drip Emitter Under Variable Hydraulic Conditions
How suspended grains traverse energy-dissipating micro-passages determines whether sediment-laden water can be used without rapid emitter deterioration. A novel cylindrical asteroid-shaped drip emitter was investigated through laboratory anti-clogging tests and two-way coupled computational fluid dynamics–discrete elem...
