摘要: In this study, a 3D CAD solid model of sample agricultural irrigation emitter was created and the flow behaviour simulated in its labyrinth channels by using simulation technique. Referenced original design, channel geometry modified re-fabricated rapid prototyping/additive manufacturing techniques. The is then re-investigated based on re-shaped structure. predetermined optimum pressure pipe validated experimentally for both design designs. As result, characteristics designs were validated. This study contributes to further research into development equipment aided through utilisation additive computer engineering tools.
