Measurement and computation of kinetic energy of simulated rainfall in comparison with natural rainfall [PDF]
Soil and Water Research, 2018 Rainfall characteristics such as total amount and rainfall intensity (I) are important inputs in calculating the kinetic energy (KE) of rainfall. Although KE is a crucial indicator of the raindrop potential to disrupt soil aggregates, it is not a ...

Evaluation of Rainfall Interception by Vegetation Using a Rainfall Simulator [PDF]
Sustainability, 2021 Interception by vegetation is one of the main variables controlling hydrological and geo-environmental problems such as erosion, landslides and floods. Interception, along with precipitation and evapotranspiration, is required for the modeling of infiltration, percolation and runoff.

Drop-Location-Insensitive Droplet-Based Electricity Generator Using Polydimethylsiloxane Slippery Covalently Attached Liquid Coatings. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Drop‐location sensitivity remains a key barrier to practical droplet‐based electricity generators (DEGs). Here, a polydimethylsiloxane slippery covalently attached liquid (PDMS‐SCAL)‐coated interface promotes droplet sliding instead of splitting or bouncing, allowing stable electricity generation from randomly falling raindrops. The resulting PDMS‐SCAL‐

Prediksi Laju Sedimentasi dan Erosi di Sub DAS Kemuning Menggunakan Rainfall Simulator
Agritech, 2019 Sedimentation is the accumulation of sediment materials in a location due to both surface erosion and cliff erosion that occurred in the water catchment area, and which was carried by the flow of water to that location.
