A Flow-Bench-Supported, Configuration-Additive CFD Framework for Decoupling the Hydraulic Loss and Regulator Load of an Integrated Irrigation Hydrant: A Comparison of the Conventional and Redesigned Bodies

In pressurized irrigation networks, water-intake hydrants combine flow regulation, shutoff and metering in a single cast body, and the resulting coupled resistance obscures how much each function costs. The conventional body of a DN100 (nominal diameter 100 mm) hydrant and a rede...
