    A Software for Hydraulic Analysis of Linear-Move and Center-Pivot Irrigation Systems: LincSys, I. User Interface and Computational Module
    Author(s): Zerihun D* and Sanchez C.A.

    LincSys is a software for simulating the hydraulics of linear-move and center-pivot irrigation systems. The term LincSys is a mnemonic for the phrase ‘linear-move and center-pivot systems’. The LincSys software is comprised of a pair of executable files: a hydraulic simulation module, HydrSimLaterals.exe, and a graphical user interface (GUI), LincSys.exe, through which the user interacts with the hydraulic module. The user interface and the computational module are coupled through an application programming interface. The simulation module of LincSys is based on a numerical solution of the continuity and energy balance equations for one-dimensional steady pipe flow. The model can simulate the hydraulics of linear-move and center-pivot systems that use the following emission devices to meter outlet discharges along the lateral: (.. Read More»
