Nonlinear Porous Diffusion Modeling of Hydrophilic Ionic Agrochemicals in Astomatous Plant Cuticle Aqueous Pores: A Mechanistic Approach
The agricultural industry requires improved efficacy of sprays being applied to crops and weeds in order to reduce their environmental impact and deliver improved financial returns. Enhanced foliar uptake is one means of improving efficacy. The plant leaf cuticle is known to be the main barrier to diffusion of agrochemicals within the leaf. The usefulness of a mathematical model to simulate upt...
متن کامل3D Porous Sponge-Inspired Electrode for Stretchable Lithium-Ion Batteries.
A stretchable Li4 Ti5 O12 anode and a LiFePO4 cathode with 80% stretchability are prepared using a 3D interconnected porous polydimethylsiloxane sponge based on sugar cubes. 82% and 91% capacity retention for anode and cathode are achieved after 500 stretch-release cycles. Slight capacity decay of 6% in the battery using the electrode in stretched state is observed.
متن کاملAuxiliary variables for 3D multiscale simulations in heterogeneous porous media
Butcher series are combinatorial devices used in the study of numerical methods for differential equations evolving on vector spaces. More precisely, they are formal series developments of differential operators indexed over rooted trees, and can be used to represent a large class of numerical methods. The theory of backward error analysis for differential equations has a particularly nice desc...
متن کاملA novel soil manganese mechanism drives plant
Loss of plant diversity with increased anthropogenic nitrogen (N) deposition in 40 grasslands has occurred globally. In most cases, competitive exclusion driven by preemption of 41 light or space is invoked as a key mechanism. Here, we provide evidence from a 9-year N 42 addition experiment for an alternative mechanism: differential sensitivity of forbs and grasses to 43 increased soil manganes...
متن کاملNumerical assessment of 3D macrodispersion in heterogeneous porous media
Hydrodynamic dispersion is a key controlling factor of solute transport in heterogeneous porous media. It critically depends on dimensionality. The asymptotic macrodispersion, transverse to the mean velocity direction, vanishes only in 2D and not in 3D. Using the classical Gaussian correlated permeability fields with a lognormal distribution of variance σ Y 2 , the longitudinal and transverse d...
