A rainfall simulator for laboratory-scale assessment of rainfall-runoff-sediment transport processes over a two-dimensional flume

open access: yesCatena, 2012
A rainfall simulator is an ideal tool for infiltration, soil erosion, and other related research areas for replicating the process and characteristics of natural rainfall. In this study, a laboratory-scale rainfall simulator is developed.

A virtual discrete rainfall simulator

Environmental Modelling & Software, 2012
This paper describes the development and test of a numerical rainfall generator for use as a preprocessor for small-scale spatialized simulation of processes induced by rain, such as soil erosion or soil surface crusting. This generator produces series of individual raindrops respecting both a given hyetograph and a spatial distribution, and satisfying

Rainfall simulators for investigating soil response to rainfall

Soil Technology, 1989
Summary This paper discusses the design of a rainfall simulator to quantify differences in infiltration, runoff production and sediment movement on different soil units. The task was to design an apparatus that would simulate rainfall at a range of intensities representative of its natural occurrence, with the considerable accuracy of replication ...

Kentucky Rainfall Simulator

Transactions of the ASAE, 1983
ABSTRACT THE construction and operating characteristics of the Kentucky Rainfall Simulator, a new, highly portable rainfall simulator, is described. It is a nozzle type simulator and is suitable for both large- and small-scale studies of the erosion, infiltration, and runoff processes.

Simulation of rainfall sequences

Journal of Hydrology, 1974
Abstract The paper describes the development and checking of a stochastic model for generation of rainfall sequences based on 10-min time units. It includes the use of dependent time series and a random component that is non-normally distributed. The model has been applied successfully to three climatically different regions and some of the results ...

THE WALNUT GULCH RAINFALL SIMULATOR: A COMPUTER-CONTROLLED VARIABLE INTENSITY RAINFALL SIMULATOR

Applied Engineering in Agriculture, 2004
The Walnut Gulch Rainfall Simulator (WGRS) is a portable, computer-controlled, variable intensity rainfall simulator for rainfall-runoff-erosion research on rangelands. The WGRS was developed with the objective to quantify the relationship between rainfall intensity and steady state infiltration rate and to determine how that relationship affects ...

On the Estimation of Surface Runoff through a New Plot Scale Rainfall Simulator in Sardinia, Italy

open access: yesProcedia Environmental Sciences, 2013
Artificial rainfall is widely used to study the surface runoff process but several problems are related to the reproducibility of natural rainstorms. A new rainfall simulator and a collection system were designed and tested in the laboratory and in the ...

Comparison between rainfall simulator erosion and observed reservoir sedimentation in an erosion-sensitive semiarid catchment

open access: yesCatena, 2002
Estimating catchment scale soil loss based on rainfall simulators is often hampered by the difficulty to scale up simulator results. Our objective was to develop and test a method for estimating catchment scale soil loss based on observed rainfall using ...

Design and performance of a nozzle-type rainfall simulator for landslide triggering experiments

open access: yesCatena, 2016
Rainfall simulators represent a widespread tool for studying hydrologic processes involving interactions of rainwater with soils, such as soil erosion, overland flow generation, and infiltration.

Rainfall noise simulation and mitigation

INTER-NOISE and NOISE-CON Congress and Conference Proceedings, 2022
A newly constructed and otherwise well-regarded building suffered from excessive rain noise in open areas where the roof deck was exposed. A single major rain event was used to characterize the existing condition, making use of a handheld sound level meter, mobile phone recordings, and weather radar data and corresponding rainfall rates.
