Resumen:
Este trabajo tiene como objetivo principal el estudio de la geometría de los laberintos de los goteros y su incidencia en su atascamiento buscando la mejor combinación entre variables hidráulicas y geométricas. El ensayo se ha llevado a cabo en un invernadero experimental usando 20 goteros. El agua de riego utilizada era residual depurada mediante un tratamiento terciario. Se han definido nuevos números adimensionales que incluyen parámetros geométricos e hidráulicos y mediante análisis dimensional se han establecido correlaciones con cuatro índices de atascamiento. El ajuste se ha comprobado usando el error cuadrático medio normalizado y los goteros se han agrupado según su comportamiento hidráulico (compensantes, no compensantes) y según su inserción (pinchados, interlínea, integrados). El buen ajuste obtenido da validez al procedimiento seguido, luego, es posible determinar con gran precisión los índices de atascamiento conociendo únicamente los parámetros de la geometría del gotero, así como las variables hidráulicas.
