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.

Runoff hydraulic characteristics and sediment generation in sloped grassplots under simulated rainfall conditions

Journal of Hydrology, 2006
Evaluation of grass influence on soil erosion process can provide important information in soil and water conservation. The laboratory experiment was conducted to study runoff and sediment producing processes and runoff hydraulics in the grassplots with ...

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 ...

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.

Rainfall models for catchment simulation

Australasian Journal of Water Resources, 2005
A catchment modelling system for simulation of both the quantity and quality of stormwater runoff can be considered to consist of four conceptual components, which are generation, collection, trans...

Development of a Mobile Rainfall Simulator

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013
in order to solve the rainfall simulator single control operation currently used in the experiment of soil erosion. A mobile rainfall simulator was designed. The device adopts a rainfall simulator and Longmen mobile support integration mode, which is controllable and mobile and easy to move. The results show that the equipment is advanced in technology,

Rainfall Simulation in Flight View

International Journal of Digital Content Technology and its Applications, 2011
An improvement is made to traditional particle system technology in rainfall simulation. In order to improve the authenticity and flexibility of rainfall simulation and speed up the rendering speed, the particle rotation, particle dynamic texture, dynamic color etc. are introduced. The structure of particles is simplified.

A Continuous-Application Rainfall Simulator

Transactions of the ASAE, 1985
ABSTRACT A simple, inexpensive, continuous-application rainfall simulator was developed using air injected into a water conduit. The effect of injecting air was to maintain higher discharge pressures enabling better uniformity without increasing the rainfall intensity.

On the Simulation of Rainfall Based on the Characteristics of Fourier Spectrum of Rainfall

1994
Design rainfall is usually determined by magnifying historical data to an amount corresponding to a certain return period. However, the spatial distribution of the precipitation is usually not considered in the design rainfall computation. With this point of view, in this paper we aim to discuss the spatial characteristics of rainfall.
