| Abstract: | The existing rainfall simulators were not able to reprove natural rainfall condition effectively. In view this, a methodology for designing field rainfall simulator was reviewed with the objective of developing rainfall simulator that generates and reproduces rainfall condition, Monthly average rainfall intensity data is required to determine the median drop diameter of the rainfall simulator. Subsequently, the kinetic energy, flow rate and power requirement of the rainfall simulator in term of rainfall intensity, uniformity coefficient and kinetic energy is important for effective simulation with the natural rainfall. This review work found out that rainfall simulator could be used to develop models for predicting the fate and transport of pollutants in runoff. This review suggested that the effect of different pressurized nozzles on the intensity of rainfall simulator's performance be examined after designing rainfall simulator. Thus, optimization of pressured nozzles on the rainfall simulator is required for effective Coefficient of Uniformity and distribution of the system. |
