In this study, drip irrigation modeling will be conducted using the existing CFD methods in ANSYS. The purpose of modeling is to get the water pressure needed to circulate water in a strawberry field with a flow rate of 0.95 l/h at each outlet of the irrigation drip. Strawberry plants (Fragaria × ananassa Duch) are one commodity that has great economic value. Strawberries are grown in cold regions in Indonesia, such as Malang, Ciwidey, and Garut. Besides a cold location,
strawberry plants also need adequate water and proper irrigation methods. The drip irrigation (DI) method can conserve water and reduce the risk of illness in the strawberry due to pollution by dirty water. This simulation modeling will be used to irrigate 600 strawberry plants in 320 m2 of the total area. From the simulation results obtained, 600 strawberry plants require pressure to be maintained at the pressure tank of 1.019 bar. The simulation of irrigation on strawberry plantation using CFD methods can save time and reduce the error factor analysis of piping design for drip irrigation design on a strawberry plantation.
