Abstract

Day by day there is deficiency of water. There are the droughts like conditions after gap of every certain year in the country. So efficient use of the water is becoming necessary. Also, the chemical enrichers used in the excess amount are harmful for the health of the soil, so need of the optimum use of the fertilizers. These causes lead to the gravitational of the irrigation and the fertilizer application in the fertigation. The modern irrigation techniques have high efficiency on supplying the water to plants than the conventional method. Fertigation is about irrigation and fertilizer application. Hence, water soluble fertilizers are used as fertilizers in this case. Within the agriculture there are lot many soil vitamins need to be furnished to the crops. This of work is finished through insertion of them into the present drip laterals. With the short progress in parallel computing and development of the commercial codes, CFD has grown to be a key tool in development of latest mechanism. Along with the experiment, CFD also allows for massive reduction of time from the primary layout thru the prototype to the complete product. The designer possibility to simulate and have look at previous simulated fluid flow in the pipe or being designed. The simulation results provide detailed of the flow field contours of the fluid in pipe and the performance predictions. The purpose of this research is to simulate of the water irrigation in pipe for cabinet fertigation. and compare the flow pattern of different piping configuration using simulation. Beside that to propose the new piping of water flow in system one of main criteria takes place in this analysis.
