AB  - Dripping rainfall simulators for soil research generate water drops with different types of drippers, such as plastic and glass tubes, drippers in a form of holes, irrigation drippers and hanging yarn, among which metal tubes are the most commonly used. Metal tubes appear in the form of capillaries with a flat tip or in the form of hypodermic needles. Hypodermic needles are suitable for this purpose because their diameter size is standardized with relatively small deviations from the standardized dimensions, they are available on the market, relatively cheap, made of stainless material and have a threaded connector (Luer taper). However, very often the descriptions of the rainfall simulators were not complete, nor was the calibration of the needles. In order to conduct calibration and define water drops diameter for different hypodermic needles size and dripping speed, it was constructed rainfall simulator with one dripper in a form of hypodermic needle. Simulator was designed in accordance to research of Rončević et al., (2022), needle calibration research and future soil research requirements. Simulator was intended primarily for laboratory use. It consists of structural support, water tank, water pump, mechanism of water flow regulation and simulator operation, water tank with dripper and dripper. Calibration was conducted for 11 different needles, ranging in size from 16 G to 32 G (G – gauge number), at different dripping speed, using drop counting sensor. Water drops are measured using weight measuring method. Obtained water drops size ranging from 3.70 to 1.48 mm. Based on research data, two nomograms were made for determination of interconnected parameters of potentially simulated rainfall: water drops size under different dripping speed, drippers discharge, number of drippers, and kinetic energy of water drops for the given falling height. The results of research provide the data necessary for the design of future dripping rainfall simulators for soil research and use of hypodermic needles as drippers.

AB  - Rainfall simulators represent often-used equipment for soil research. Depending on their performance, they could be appropriate for some soil research or not. The aim of this research is to provide insight into the capabilities of existing dripping rainfall simulators (DRS) to mimic natural rainfall and the frequency of simulated rainfalls of certain characteristics, facilitate the selection of rain simulators that would best meet the needs of soil research and to reach a step closer to the standardization of rainfall simulators. DRS performance was analyzed integrally, for simulators with more than one dripper (DRS>1) and with one dripper (DRS=1). A statistical analysis was performed for the performance of the DRS, wetted area, drop size, rainfall intensity, duration and kinetic energy. The analysis showed that DRS can provide rainfall that corresponds to natural rainfall, except in terms of the drop size distribution and wetted area. However, usually there are more factors that do not correspond to natural rainfall, such as the median drop size, volume and kinetic energy. Metal and plastic tubes (MT and PT) as the most present dripper types showed a strong relation between the outer diameter (OD) and drop size, while the inner diameter (ID) relation was moderate-to-weak. However, when increasing the range of MT drippers, for diameter size, the relation significance becomes very strong for bouts ID and OD. With the increase in the ID of PT, the relation deviates from the logarithmic curve that represents all drippers together. The sizes of the drops generated by the drippers are mostly in the range between 2 and 6 mm, while the number of drops smaller than 2 mm is relatively small. The intensity and duration of the simulated rain can be successfully produced to match natural values, with the most frequently simulated short-term rainfall of a high intensity. Most simulations were conducted at a fall height of up to 2 m, and then their number gradually decreases as the height gets closer to 5 m. Most simulations (58.6%) occur in the range between 20-90% KE, then 33.0% in a range of 90-100%, with only 8.4% lower than 20% KE.

AB  - The choice of drippers for dripping rainfall simulators (DRS) is often based on the experience of previous research or personal empirical knowledge, under the assumption that drippers in form of tubes and holes with a smaller internal diameter (ID) generate water drops of a smaller diameter and vice versa, neglecting other factors that affect the size of the drops. The aim of research is to provide insight into the influence of DRS dripper size, type and dripping speed (i.e., the number of water drops dripped out from a dripper per unit of time) on generating different water drop size. A search was conducted for all available scientific papers describing DRS and papers that include a wide range of thematically related papers to soil research in which DRS are used starting from 1941 until today. Out of a total of 188 scientific papers included in the analysis, 76 different types and 31 subtypes of DRS have been singled out. The analyses of DRS drippers design and performance was conducted in terms of the drops’ sizes that they are able to generate. The analysis was conducted integrally, for simulators with more than one dripper and with one dripper. Metal and plastic tubes (MT and PT), which are the most common drippers’ type, showed a strong relationship between the outer diameter (OD) with the drop size, while the ID relationship was moderate to weak. However, when increasing the range of MT drippers’ diameter size, the relationship significance became very strong for both ID and OD. It is observed that with the increase of the ID of PT the relationship deviates from the logarithmic curve that represents all dripper types together. Although the applied dripping intensity difference is quite big for MT, drop size does not differ much. On the other hand, PT generate much bigger difference in drop size for a less drastic change in intensity. It is suggested that a possible reason for such a deviation and difference in the functional forms that describes drop and drippers size relations could be the dripper material, but considering that MT drippers generally have a thinner wall than PT or glass tubes (GT), drippers material type rather determines the thickness of the tube wall.

AB  - Dripping rainfall simulators (DRS) are important instruments in soil research.
Depending of their performance they could be appropriate for
some soil research or not. Therefore, a large number of non-standardized
DRS have been developed. The major component of simulator are drippers
that come in a various type and size with diff erent modifi cations. The aim
of research is to provide insight into the mechanism and ability of DRS drippers
to generate drops of different diameters and the factors that affect
it as are dripper size, type and dripping speed. Drippers performance was
analyzed integrally, for simulators with more than one dripper (DRS>1) and
with one dripper (DRS=1). The analysis showed that DRS can provide drops
that corresponds to natural rainfalls. The sizes of the drops generated by
drippers are mostly in the range between 2 and 6 mm, while the number
of drops smaller than 2 mm is relatively small. Metal tubes (MT) are the
most present, after which plastic tubes (PT) follow. They showed strong
correlation of outer diameter (OD) with drop size, while ID correlation is
moderate to weak. It is observed that with the increase of the ID of PT the
relation deviates from the logarithmic curve that represents all dripper
types together. Also, although the applied dripping intensity difference is quite big for MT, drop size does not differ much. On the other hand, PT
generate much bigger difference in drop size for less drastic change in
dripping intensity. Considering MT drippers generally have a thinner wall
then PL or glass tube (GT) drippers the thickness of tube wall is imposed
as a reason for such deviation.

AB  - Rainfall simulators are important instruments in soil research. In 2019 we have constructed and calibrated
portable field spraying rainfall simulator for a research of effects of changes in soil moisture content on
changes in mechanical parameters of soil and formation of surface runoff and soil erosion. Also, we have
constructed a dripping rainfall simulator with one dripper for the research of splash erosion and calibration
of hypodermic needles for a further development of dripping rainfall simulator with a more than one dripper
for research of rainfall impact and runoff on soil erosion. Beside that we are in a process of modifying
portable field spraying rainfall simulator in term of drops falling height and size, giving us a greater
possibility in the application and analysis of soil erosion. In the paper we will represent our results and
experience gained through the literature analyses and the process of construction and calibration of rainfall
simulators for our research. We have analyzed process of development rainfall simulators, conducted an
analysis of the design and performance of the current dripping rainfall simulators, while collecting data and
creating a database related to the design and performance of spraying rainfall simulators improving our
understanding of research needs and simulator abilities to simulate natural rainfalls. Such approach is pushing
us toward to harmonization of some future rainfall simulators improving and facilitating data analysis of soil
research all around the world. Scientific research in which rain simulators are used, and which can be applied
in the fields of hydrology, agriculture, forestry, as well as in other industrial branches, are becoming
increasingly necessary and frequent.
