abstract a model based on fuzzy logic has been developed to simulate the distribution pattern of a single sprinkler. a nelson r3000 sprayer with rotator pad and water application angle of 360o which is one of the most common types of center pivot and linear move sprinklers was selected. several field experiments according to the iso-8026 and asae-s398.1 standards were performed to assess the wa...

This paper describes a method for estimating wind field (wind velocity, rate of change of wind velocity and wind gradient) for small and mini unmanned aerial vehicles. The approach utilizes sensors which are already part of a standard autopilot sensor suite (GPS, inertial measurement unit, airspeed, magnetometer). The primary motivation is enabling energy harvesting; a secondary motivation is d...

Simultaneous observations of the solar wind velocity as measured at the Pioneer 9 and Ogo 5 spacecraft during five solar rotations in 1968 and 1969 are presented. During this time, Pioneer 9 was traveling in toward the sun to approximately 0.7 AU while the earth orbiter Ogo 5 was spending long periods in the interplanetary medium. A comparison of the 3-hour averages of solar wind velocity obtai...

In our real time experimental analysis the acoustic sensor estimates the specific target (elephant) coverage localization at 3 different types of forests. The proposed method consists of estimating Direction of Arrival Estimation using partial hyperbolic circular array and also identified few external factors affecting outdoor propagation and acoustic source localization in forest. We already i...

Designing and manufacturing the multiple jets simulator and experimental investigation of the multiple jets in crossflow at low velocity ratios have been studied Together with design and build a low-speed wind tunnel. A specific rake is used to determine the flow field pressure and changes in static pressure measured by pressure taps in the near field of the jets. There are generally three regi...

Wind is one of the main forces affecting the rate of forest fire spread. It may either increase or decrease the energy transferred toward the unburned areas. The present study is devoted to understanding the effect of wind on the propagation of forest fires. To model the propagation of forest fires a semiphysical approach is used. By this approach forest fire is considered as an adiabatic combu...

to enhance the understanding of the impact of obstacle buildings on pollution transportationand dispersion in the atmospheric boundary layer, it is necessary to know the atmospheric flow characteristics over terrains. wind flow characteristics in a boundary layer over a step-shaped cliff topography model with rough and smooth surfaces were studied numerically using computational fluid dynamics ...

The powering requirement of a land yacht is one of the most important aspects of its design. In this respect the wind tunnel testing is an effective design tool. In fact, changing the parameters of the vehicle and testing the changes in the wind tunnel will give us a better understanding of the most efficient vehicle, and yet it is time consuming, expensive, and has inherent scaling errors. Ano...

asymptotically exact and nonlocal fourth order nonlinear evolution equations are derived for two coupled fourth order nonlinear evolution equations have been derived in deep water for two capillary-gravity wave packets propagating in the same direction in the presence of wind flowing over water.we have used a general method, based on zakharov integral equation.on the basis of these evolution eq...
