For purpose of reducing the risks of using of saline water for irrigation, the mechanism of soil moisture and salinity distribution and transport should be well understood for developing optimum management strategies. In this paper, field experiments were carried out at Junggar Basin, China, to study the effects of drip irrigation water quality and drip tape arrangement on distribution of soil salinity and soil moisture. Six treatments were designed, including two drip tape arrangement modes and three irrigation water concentration levels （0.24, 4.68, and 7.42 dS m^-l）. Results showed that, soil moisture content （SMC） directly beneath the drip tape in all treatments kept a relatively high value about 18% before boll opening stage; the SMC in the narrow strip in single tape arrangement （Ms） plot was obviously lower than that in the double tapes arrangement （Md） plot, indicating that less sufficient water was supplied under the same condition of irrigation depth, but there was no significant reduction in yield. Mulching had not significant influence on salt accumulation but the drip tape arrangement, under the same condition of irrigation water depth and quality, compared with Md, Ms reduced salt accumulation in root zone and brought about relatively high cotton yield.展开更多

The Digital Particle ImageVelocimetry （DPIV） system was built for un-disturbed flow tests in the labyrinth path. In this article, the flow field was measured in the flow path section, the structural unit and the local region near sawtooth. Under the pressure level of 10 Kpa, 50 Kpa, 100 Kpa and 150 Kpa, the flows in the two labyrinth paths were in the turbulence state, with flow stagnation regions and whirlpool regions in the structure of the labyrinth path sections. The flow stagnation regions should be eliminated as much as possible. But the vortex should be fully developed, which could increase the self-cleaning capacity and the anti-clogging capacity of the emitter. With respect to the anti-clogging performance and the energy loss efficiency of the emitter, the M-type flow path is better than the K-type flow path.展开更多
