摘要： Developing efficient water-saving irrigation technologies that utilize high sand-laden water is an important approach to alleviating agricultural water scarcity in the Yellow River Basin. This study aims to investigate sedimentation patterns and fluid movement characteristics in drip irrigation emitters under such challenging water conditions. The dynamic changes in Dra and Cu were determined through short-period intermittent clogging tests to evaluate the anti-clogging performance of four different emitter types. The distribution and particle size composition of the deposited sediments inside the emitters were analyzed using a high-resolution electron microscope and a laser particle size analyzer. Additionally, the RNG k-epsilon turbulence model was used to simulate the fluid movement inside the emitters. The results showed that the B drip irrigation belt had better sediment tolerance and operational stability. The anti-clogging capacity of drip irrigation can be improved by optimizing the combination of emitter channel structure and sediment content. The fluid in the channel was divided into mainstream zone and vortex zone. Sediment particles increased in the backing-water zone and vortex center, where particles of 0.05-0.1 mm were more prone to settling due to reduced transport capacity. Energy dissipation primarily took place at the curvature of the emitter channel, and within each channel unit, gradually decreasing along the vortex flow direction, with the lowest dissipation aligning with sediment deposition zones. These findings provide a theoretical basis for mitigating clogging in high sand-laden water drip irrigation systems, offering valuable insights for improving the effective utilization of water resources in the Yellow River Basin.
