Modelling Spatial and Temporal Leaf Temperature Dynamics - A focus on the leaf boundary layer
Keywords:
3D Leaf Model, Heat balance, Nusselt Number, Free Convection, Boundary Layer
Abstract
A 3D leaf temperature model is proposed to estimate dynamics of temperature gradients at leaf surface. The 3D leaf shape, the leaf physiology, and the microclimate are accounted for. CFD was used to prescribe realistic spatial evolution of the sensible heat flux at the leaf surface.
