THE SIMULATION AND MODEL OF RAINFALL PROCESS DISTRIBUTION IN FOREST CANOPY Ⅰ.The Models of Throughfall,Stemflow and Canopy Interception Under Constant Rainfall Intensity
Abstract:According to continuty equation three process models of throughfall,stemflow and canopy interception were deduced with the method of system theory.These were constant coefficient differential equations of(n+1)th order.The processes of throughfall and stemflow were presented by the equation to describe the distribution feature and dynamic law.Relative errors between simulation results of model and experiment were lower than 2%,and between model and field observation lower than 6% by the example of throughfall.Writer found that the process equations of both throughfall and stemflow through forest canopy which is porous medium are the same type as equation of thansient course of R-L-C circuit in electricity.
