Also, the velocity analysis suggests there is are further nonuniformities in the water distribution. It is particularly noticeable in the full sweep, where the water nozzle travels much quicker through one phase of the right side portion, possibly resulting in less dense water distributed distribution to that portion of the yard .  and in a slightly larger area compared to the left (due to the position sweep asymmetries).

Overall, the sprinkler is effective in controlling its output range as designed, in spite of slight inconsistencies. 

SolidWorks Modeling

The following animations demonstrate the motion of the sprinkler with the four dial settings addressed in the MATLAB simulation to verify the resulting sweeps.
