    This is the third manuscript of a three-part paper that presents the development and evaluation of a hydraulic simulation model for linear-move laterals equipped with pressure reducing valve (prvs). System description, model assumptions, and specification of the lateral hydraulic simulation problem are discussed in part-one of the paper. Formulation and numerical solution of the lateral hydraulic simulation problem are described in manuscript-two. Results of model evaluation and simulation examples, showing model applications, are presented here. Measured hydraulic data-sets, consisting of lateral pressure head profiles and inlet discharges, were used in model evaluation. The data was obtained through field tests conducted on a linear-move sprinkler irrigation system fitted with prvs. Comparisons of model-predicted and field-measured lateral pressure head profiles an..
