  A Software for Hydraulic Analysis of Linear-move and Center-Pivot Irrigation Systems: LincSys, II. Application Examples and Model Evaluation
  Author(s): Zerihun D* and Sanchez C.A
  
  A software for simulating the hydraulics of linear-move and center-pivot irrigation systems, LincSys, is presented in the current paper. This manuscript is part II of a two-part paper. Descriptions of software functionalities relating to the graphical user interface and the hydraulic simulation module of LincSys are presented in manuscript I. Results of evaluation of the computational module are summarized and a set of application examples are presented here. A limited evaluation of the hydraulic simulation module suggests that the predictive capability of the model is satisfactory. In line with results of earlier studies, computed outputs of application examples show that the lateral pressure profiles of linear-move and center-pivot systems exhibit both local span-scale spatial variability patterns and broader inter-span trends, suggesting that a complete description of the ..
