Resumo: | A modification in an existing water uptake and solute transport numerical model was implemented in order to allow the model to simulate solute uptake by the roots. The convection-dispersion equation (CDE) was solved numerically, using a complete implicit scheme, considering a transient state for water and solute fluxes and a soil solute concentration dependent boundary for the uptake at the root surface, based on the Michaelis- Menten (MM) equation. Additionally, a linear approximation was developed for the MM equation such that the CDE has a linear and a non-linear solution. A radial geometry was assumed, considering a single root with its surface acting as the uptake boundary and the outer boundary being the half distance between neighboring roots, a function of root density. The proposed solute transport model includes active and passive solute uptake and predicts solute concentration as a function of time and distance from the root surface. It also estimates the relative transpiration of the plant, on its turn directly affecting water and solute uptake and related to water and osmotic stress status of the plant. Performed simulations show that the linear and non-linear solutions result in significantly different solute uptake predictions when the soil solute concentration is below a limiting value (Clim). This reduction in uptake at low concentrations may result in a further reduction in the relative transpiration. The contributions of active and passive uptake vary with parameters related to the ion species, the plant, the atmosphere and the soil hydraulic properties. The model showed a good agreement with an analytical model that uses a linear concentration dependent equation as boundary condition for uptake at the root surface. The advantage of the numerical model is it allows simulation of transient solute and water uptake and, therefore, can be used in a wider range of situations. Simulation with different scenarios and comparison with experimental results are needed to verify model performance and possibly suggest improvements. |

Uma solução numérica para a equação de convecção-dispersão (ECD), que utiliza um esquema de resolução completamente implícito, foi elaborada e considera o fluxo transiente de água e solutos com uma condição de contorno à superfície da raiz de extração de soluto dependente de sua concentração no solo, baseada na equação de Michaelis- Menten (MM). Uma aproximação linear para a equação de MM foi implementada de tal forma que a ECD tem uma solução linear e outra não-linear. O modelo considera uma raiz singular com geometria radial sendo sua superfície a condição de contorno (limite) de extração e sendo o limite extremo a meia-distância entre raízes vizinhas, função da densidade radicular. O modelo de transporte de soluto proposto inclui extração de soluto ativa e passiva e prediz a concentração de soluto como uma função do tempo e da distância à superfície da raiz, além de estimar a transpiração relativa da planta, que por sua vez afeta a extração de água e solutos e é relacionado com a condição de estresse da planta. Simulações mostram que as soluções linear e não-linear resultam em predições de extração de solutos significativamente diferentes quando a concentração de solutos no solo está abaixo de um valor limitante (Clim). A redução da extração em baixas concentrações pode resultar em uma redução adicional na transpiração relativa. As contribuições ativa e passiva da extração de solutos variam com parâmetros relacionados à espécie de íon, à planta, à atmosfera e às propriedades hidráulicas do solo. O modelo apresentou uma boa concordância com um modelo analítico que aplica uma condição de contorno linear, à superfície da raiz, de extração de solutos dependente da concentração no solo. A vantagem do modelo numérico sobre o analítico é que ele permite simular fluxos transientes de água e solutos, sendo, portanto, possível simular uma maior gama de situações. Se faz necessário simulações com diferentes cenários e comparações com dados experimentais para se verificar a performance do modelo e, possivelmente, sugerir melhorias.Biblioteca Digitais de Teses e Dissertações da USPLier, Quirijn de Jong vanBezerra, André Herman Freire2016-02-19info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesisapplication/pdfhttp://www.teses.usp.br/teses/disponiveis/11/11152/tde-28042016-104725/reponame:Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da USPinstname:Universidade de São Paulo (USP)instacron:USPLiberar o conteúdo para acesso público.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesseng2017-09-04T21:06:17Zoai:teses.usp.br:tde-28042016-104725Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertaçõeshttp://www.teses.usp.br/PUBhttp://www.teses.usp.br/cgi-bin/mtd2br.plvirginia@if.usp.br|| atendimento@aguia.usp.br||virginia@if.usp.bropendoar:27212017-09-04T21:06:17Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da USP - Universidade de São Paulo (USP)false |

A modification in an existing water uptake and solute transport numerical model was implemented in order to allow the model to simulate solute uptake by the roots. The convection-dispersion equation (CDE) was solved numerically, using a complete implicit scheme, considering a transient state for water and solute fluxes and a soil solute concentration dependent boundary for the uptake at the root surface, based on the Michaelis- Menten (MM) equation. Additionally, a linear approximation was developed for the MM equation such that the CDE has a linear and a non-linear solution. A radial geometry was assumed, considering a single root with its surface acting as the uptake boundary and the outer boundary being the half distance between neighboring roots, a function of root density. The proposed solute transport model includes active and passive solute uptake and predicts solute concentration as a function of time and distance from the root surface. It also estimates the relative transpiration of the plant, on its turn directly affecting water and solute uptake and related to water and osmotic stress status of the plant. Performed simulations show that the linear and non-linear solutions result in significantly different solute uptake predictions when the soil solute concentration is below a limiting value (Clim). This reduction in uptake at low concentrations may result in a further reduction in the relative transpiration. The contributions of active and passive uptake vary with parameters related to the ion species, the plant, the atmosphere and the soil hydraulic properties. The model showed a good agreement with an analytical model that uses a linear concentration dependent equation as boundary condition for uptake at the root surface. The advantage of the numerical model is it allows simulation of transient solute and water uptake and, therefore, can be used in a wider range of situations. Simulation with different scenarios and comparison with experimental results are needed to verify model performance and possibly suggest improvements. |
