VRI Sprinkler Simulation is a collection of Octave scripts for simulation the variable rate irrigation (VRI) performed by hose reel rain gun sprinkler in agriculture. This application has been developed as part of the activities of the POSITIVE collaborative project (European Regional Development Fund POR-FESR 2014-2020, Research and Innovation of the Region Emilia-Romagna).

The provided scripts are written in the programming language Octave for scientific computing and can be executed with the homonymous software application Octave. The scripts should also be compatible with Matlab, but they have never been tested.
Let ${vri_sprinkler_simulation_DIR} be the install directory of your local copy of vri_sprinkler_simulation.
Open Octave application and use the command window to run the following commands.
- cd ${vri_sprinkler_simulation_DIR}/scripts
- simulate_acquacampus_20210826
You will see the output of simulation.
