CTSPAC is a mathematical model for coupled transport of water, solutes, and thermal
energy in the soil-plant-atmosphere continuum. The mathematical structure consists
of coupling a model for transport through soil (soil submodel) to one for xylem and phloem
transport (plant submodel). The modeling approach is based on discrete space conceptualization...
A computational model is developed to study the effects of alumina layer formation on an ablative surface when exposed to high temperature particle laden gas flow. The solidification dynamics i.e., the solid and liquid alumina layer growth rate, and the heat transferred to the ablative surface are investigated. A one-dimensional...
Tropospheric ozone is a pollutant which has detrimental effects on crop yields. The level of ambient ozone can be reduced by environmental policy changes and enforcement. The purpose of this study was to estimate the welfare effects of such changes in ambient ozone using recently available plant response data and...
