Insecticide spray drift reduction with different adjuvants and spray nozzles [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Engenharia Agrícola e Ambiental, 2021 Insecticide spray drift can lead to reduced control efficiency and loss of product to the environment. Thus, we conducted a study to evaluate the effect of different spray nozzles and the addition of adjuvants in insecticide spray on the resulting ...

NUMERICAL SIMULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS OF SPRAY FIELD OF IMPINGEMENT NOZZLE [PDF]
Engenharia Agrícola, 2023 The shape of a spray droplet from a flat-fan nozzle in the plant protection sector is similar to a ‘U shape’, the middle particle size being small but the diameter of both sides being too large.

Effect of Image Segmentation Thresholding on Droplet Size Measurement
Agronomy, 2022 Droplet size spectrum is a key factor in pesticide application because it affects the biological efficacy of a treatment in terms of target coverage, environmental impact in terms of evaporation, drift and run-off, and operator’s safety in terms of ...

Lattice Boltzmann simulation of droplet behaviour in microfluidic devices [PDF]
, 2009 We developed a lattice Boltzmann model to investigate the droplet dynamics in microfluidic devices. In our model, a stress-free boundary condition was proposed to conserve the total mass of flow system and improve the numerical stability for flows with ...
