ORCHARD is a code for simulation of the nonlinear dynamics of an orchard sprayer tower.
ORCHARD: Orchard Sprayer Tower Dynamics is a Matlab code for simulation of the nonlinear stochastic dynamics of an orchard sprayer tower moving on an irregular terrain, which is emulated by stationary Gaussian random process. The implementation follows an educational style, to make its use very intuitive.
The code is a result of following works:
ORCHARD routines are commented in order to explain their functionality to the final user. Each routine has a short description about its purpose, and a list of inputs and/or outputs.
