SIMULATION OF INFILTRATION FROM A TRICKLE IRRIGATION SOURCE USING IMPLICIT FINITE DIFFERENCE METHOD
An understanding of the infiltration process under an emitter is essential for better trickle irrigation design. The effective area of coverage of an emitter determines the spacing of the emitters and the irrigation scheduling. In this study, a mathematical model is presented for simulation of infiltration under a trickle irrigation source. The proposed model is based on the mixed form of the Richards equation which gives better conservation properties than other forms of Richards equation. The governing equations are solved using an implicit finite difference scheme. Results using the proposed model are compared with the experimental data in literature. It is found that the proposed model performs satisfactorily for typical trickle irrigation applications.
