Description
Summary:The furrow irrigation method is widely utilized to artificially supply water to crops in areas with low rainfall. To optimize the furrow design, mathematical modelling of the furrow irrigation system can be used to design the optimal spacing of irrigation furrows. This project aimed to analyse a mathematical model of a two-dimensional steady-state furrow irrigation system. Boundary value problems and boundary conditions were established, and numerical solutions were programmed with Microsoft Excel to obtain the relationships between various variables and the suction potential.
