Designing a Low Activation Pressure Drip Irrigation Emitter With Constraints for Mass Manufacturing

This work discusses the modeling and optimization of a drip irrigation emitter for reducing activation pressure. Our model formulation focuses on analytically characterizing fluidstructure interactions in an existing 8 liters per hour (lph) pressure-compensating online emitter. A preliminary experim...
