A two-scale Stefan problem arising in a model for tree sap exudation
The study of tree sap exudation, in which a (leafless) tree generates elevated stem pressure in response to repeated daily freeze–thaw cycles, gives rise to an interesting multiscale problem involving heat and multiphase liquid/gas transport. The pressure generation mechanism is a cellular-level process that is governed by differential equations for sap transport through porous cell membranes, ...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Maple Sap Exudation
Physical Background. Sap exudation refers to the process whereby sugar maple trees (Acer saccharum) are capable of generating significant stem pressure in a leafless state, something that occurs to a lesser extent in only a few other related species such as birch and walnut. This exudation pressure is what causes maple sap to flow from a taphole in sufficient quantities to be harvested and proc...
متن کاملMultiscale model of a freeze-thaw process for tree sap exudation.
Sap transport in trees has long fascinated scientists, and a vast literature exists on experimental and modelling studies of trees during the growing season when large negative stem pressures are generated by transpiration from leaves. Much less attention has been paid to winter months when trees are largely dormant but nonetheless continue to exhibit interesting flow behaviour. A prime example...
متن کاملNonlinear Two-Phase Stefan Problem
In this paper we consider a nonlinear two-phase Stefan problem in one-dimensional space. The problem is mapped into a nonlinear Volterra integral equation for the free boundary.
متن کاملNewton-Product integration for a Two-phase Stefan problem with Kinetics
We reduce the two phase Stefan problem with kinetic to a system of nonlinear Volterra integral equations of second kind and apply Newton's method to linearize it. We found product integration solution of the linear form. Sufficient conditions for convergence of the numerical method are given and their applicability is illustrated with an example.
