Is desiccation tolerance and avoidance reflected in xylem and phloem anatomy of two coexisting arid-zone coniferous trees?

Plants close their stomata during drought to avoid excessive water loss, but species differ in respect to the drought severity at which stomata close. The stomatal closure point is related to xylem anatomy and vulnerability to embolism, but it also has imp ...

RANS computations of a confined cavitating tip-leakage vortex

Mohamed Farhat, Matthieu Dreyer

Cavitating tip-leakage vortices appear in several hydrodynamic flows such as marine propellers or Kaplan turbines. Cavitating computations are a challenging topic since several keys issues are an ongoing work such as the definition of a universal mass sour ...

Intensifying cavitating flows in microfluidic devices with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) microbubbles

Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Morteza Ghorbani

Cavitation and the energy associated with the collapse of resulting cavitation bubbles constitute an important research subject. The collapse of the hydrodynamic cavitation bubbles at the outlet of the flow elements leads to a high energy release and gener ...

Competition for light and water in a coupled soil-plant system

Gabriele Manoli, Sara Bonetti, Gabriel George Katul

It is generally accepted that resource availability shapes the structure and function of many ecosystems. Within the soil-plant-atmosphere (SPA) system, resource availability fluctuates in space and time whereas access to resources by individuals is furthe ...

Optimizing drip irrigation for eggplant crops in semi-arid zones using evolving thresholds

Paolo Perona

Field experiments were combined with a numerical model to optimize drip irrigation management based on soil matric potential (SMP) measurements. An experimental crop of eggplant was grown in Burkina Faso from December 2014 to March 2015 and plant response ...

Effects of hydropeaking waves offsets on growth performances of juvenile Salix species

Alexandre Buttler, Paolo Perona, Pascal Turberg, Constant Signarbieux, Lorenzo Gorla

Hydropower production and other human activities change the natural flow regime of rivers (e.g., hydropeaking effects), in turn, impacting the riparian environment. Here we present an experiment conceived to investigate the response of forced offsets in wa ...

Modeling of Hydrological Processes in Arid Agricultural Regions

David Andrew Barry

Understanding of hydrological processes, including consideration of interactions between vegetation growth and water transfer in the root zone, underpins efficient use of water resources in arid-zone agriculture. Water transfers take place in the soil-plan ...

Modeling Soil–Plant Dynamics: Assessing Simulation Accuracy by Comparison with Spatially Distributed Crop Yield Measurements

Sara Bonetti

Coupling hydrological models with plant physiology is crucial to capture the feedback mechanisms occurring within the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum. However, the ability of such models to describe the spatial variability of plant responses to different e ...

Transport of fluorobenzoate tracers in a vegetated hydrologic control volume: 1. Experimental results

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Pierre Claude Jean Queloz, Luca Carraro, Francesco Giuseppe Miglietta, Gianluca Botter

This paper reports about the experimental evidence collected on the transport of five fluorobenzoate tracers injected under controlled conditions in a vegetated hydrologic volume, a large lysimeter (fitted with load cells, sampling ports, and an undergroun ...

Identification of the wave speed and the second viscosity of cavitation flows with 2D RANS computations - Part I

François Avellan, Sébastien Alligné

1D hydro-electric models are useful to predict dynamic behaviour of hydro-power plants. Regarding vortex rope and cavitation surge in Francis turbines, the 1D models require some inputs that can be provided by numerical simulations. In this paper, a 2D cav ...
