Abstract :
[en] This paper evaluates the application of a Gaussian tilting plume model to study agricultural spraying drift. The spray drift deposit of each droplet diameter class, measured by a laser particle analyser, is computed independently and summed to give footprint results for different nozzle. The methodology is used to model the drift from a fiat fan nozzle operating in a wind tunnel. Discrepancies with experimental data and the potential for further improvement of this approach are discussed.
