Title
Comparative study of CFD models of the air flow produced by an air-assisted sprayer adapted to the crop geometry.
Abstract
•A sprayer adapted to the crop geometry has been modeled in CFD in different ways.•Models based on air flow at the outlets does not yield satisfactory results.•Implementation of the geometry of the air ducts has been tested with good results.•Studying the effect of different air flows by varying the input flow is possible.•The instability of the model can be mitigated by calculating into two stages.
