Abstract
ABSTRACT THE construction and operating characteristics of the Kentucky Rainfall Simulator, a new, highly portable rainfall simulator, is described. It is a nozzle type simulator and is suitable for both large- and small-scale studies of the erosion, infiltration, and runoff processes. The simulator closely approximates the kinetic energy of natural rainfall at intensities greater than 25 mm/h. Rainfall intensities ranging from 3.5 to 185 mm/h can be produced, and measured uniformity coefficients range from 80.2 to 83.7. Runoff and sediment sampling devices used with the Kentucky Rainfall Simulator are also described.
