MODEL FOR WIND FLOW IN AN IDEALIZED VEGETATIVE CANOPY

Abstract

A mathematical model of air flow in an idealized vegetative canopy is described. The ideal model is applied to the real canopies using the limited canopy wind profile data that was available. It is shown that in general the turbulent transfer within the real vegetative canopies is not ideal. Of those canopies investigated, mature corn most nearly resembled the ideal concept, while alfalfa was the crop least in agreement with the ideal model.
