Simulating Plant Color Aging Taking into Account the Sap Flow in the Venation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a method for simulating color aging of leaves. Our technique is inspired by natural processes. We consider the flow of fluid in the leaf, and its evaporation through stomata. To model this, we use three maps describing the stomata and venation distributions and the fluid flow, respectively. We conduct a simulation that uses these maps to update the amount of fluid sourced into, diffused, and sinked out of the plant structure. The amount of fluid present at each location is used to control the color of the leaf or petal.

Energy Flow from Root to Shoot: A Comprehensive In silico Analysis
Background: Root to shoot connection and transfer of information seems to be taken place mostly via the transmissions of signal molecules, secondary metabolites, amino acids, hormones and proteins, through xylem sap. Examination of earlier reports is indicative of relatively high levels of conservation in xylem sap protein compositions. Apparently these protein molecules are be...
متن کاملNumerical Modeling of an Innovative Bipolar Plate Design Based on the Leaf Venation Patterns for PEM Fuel Cells
Flow channel design on bipolar plates has a direct effect on Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell performance. It has been found out that the flow field design has a deterministic role on the mass transport and water management, and therefore on the achieved power in PEM Fuel cells. This study concentrates on improvements in the fuel cell performance through optimization of channel dimensio...

Water use pattern and canopy processes of cashew trees during a drying period in West Africagoo
Water flux in a young, 4-year old, cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) plantation was studied over a dry season, from November 2001 to March 2002, in the forest-savannah transition zone of Ghana, West Africa. The temperature-difference method was used over this five-month period to quantify the diurnal and day-to-day whole-tree sap flow (Qt) and hence the canopy scale transpiration (Ec). M...
متن کاملHydromagnetic Couette flow of class-II and heat transfer through a porous medium in a rotating system with Hall effects
Steady hydromagnetic Couette flow of class-II of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid through a porous medium in a rotating system taking Hall current into account is investigated. Heat transfer characteristics of the fluid flow are considered taking viscous and Joule dissipations into account. It is noticed that there exists flow separation at the moving plate in the sec...
