Kam a kolik vody odvádí stromy? Modelování vlivu smrkových a bukových porostů na toky vody v půdě během extrémních klimatických podmínek
Zelíková, Nikol; Šípek, Václav
2023 - český
Půdní vlhkost propojuje takové procesy, které ovlivňují celý hydrologický cyklus, a tím i dostupnost vodních zdrojů. Jedním z významných faktorů ovlivňující tyto procesy je přítomnost vegetace. Výzkum interakcí mezi vegetací, jejím managementem a procesy ovlivňující toky půdní vody nabývá na významu zejména v době probíhajících klimatických změn i změn krajinného pokryvu. Avšak komplexnost těchto interakcí, ovlivněná navíc jejich rozdílností mezi jednotlivými rostlinnými druhy tento výzkum ztěžuje. Proměna krajinného pokryvu probíhá také v českém lesnictví, konkrétně v podobě obměny smrkových monokultur buky. V této studii je proto zkoumán vliv dvou typů lesních porostů, smrku ztepilého (Picea abies) a buku lesního (Fagus sylvatica), na vodní režim půdy v experimentálním povodí Liz na Šumavě. A to (1) zjištěním rozdílů v množství půdní vláhy na základě dvaceti let naměřených dat a (2) získáním složek vodní bilance (transpirace a perkolace) na těchto dvou kontrastních plochách pomocí modelu bilance půdní vody. Z analýzy dlouhodobých dat půdních vlhkostí vyplývají nepatrně nižší hodnoty půdních vlhkostí pod porosty buku, které zanikají při srovnání průměrných ročních hodnot. Odlišnosti jsou patrné při hodnocení průměrných vlhkostí s hloubkou, kde v nejsvrchnější vrstvě půdního profilu smrk disponuje v průměru o 6 % vyššími zásobami půdní vody než buk. Z pohledu vývoje půdních vlhkostí během vegetační sezóny je půda z počátku sušší pod smrkem, který započíná svou transpiraci dříve. Tento rozdíl je v průběhu sezóny zredukován intenzivní transpirací buku. Výstupy bilančního modelu poukázaly na vyšší míru aktuální evapotranspirace buku a vyšší míru perkolace smrku během každého roku. Tento jev byl zvýrazněn během suchých let, kdežto v letech s dostatkem srážek byly rozdíly minimální. Zvýšení četnosti buku v krajině, tak může ovlivnit míru dotace podzemních vod. Soil moisture links processes that influence the entire hydrological cycle and thus the availability of water resources. One important factor influencing these processes is the presence of vegetation. Research on the interactions between vegetation, its management and the processes affecting soil water fluxes is of particular importance in times of ongoing climate change and land cover changes. However, the complexity of these interactions, further influenced by differences between plant species, makes this research more difficult. Land cover change is also taking place in Czechia, specifically in the replacement of spruce monocultures by beech. Therefore, this study investigates the influence of two types of forest stands, spruce (Picea abies) and beech (Fagus sylvatica), on the soil water regime in the experimental Liz catchment in Bohemian Forest, Czechia. This was performed by (1) evaluating differences in soil moisture based on twenty years of measured data and (2) obtaining the two components of the soil water balance (transpiration and percolation) at two plots (beech and spruce) using a soil water balance model. Analysis of the long-term soil moisture data show slightly lower soil moisture values under the beech stands, which disappear when comparing the annual mean values. Differences are evident when evaluating average soil moisture data with depth, where the topmost layer of the soil profile at the spruce site has on average 6% higher soil water content than beech. At the start of the growing season the soil moisture was initially drier under spruce, due to its earlier start of transpiration. This difference was reduced over the season by the intensive transpiration of beech. The outputs of the balance model indicated a higher rate of actual evapotranspiration of beech and a higher rate of percolation of spruce every year. This effect was more pronounced over the dry years, whereas in years with sufficient rainfall the differences were minimal. Thus, the replacement of spruce trees by beech trees may affect the rate of groundwater recharge.

On the structure and values of betweenness centrality in dense betweenness-uniform graphs
Ghanbari, B.; Hartman, David; Jelínek, V.; Pokorná, Aneta; Šámal, R.; Valtr, P.
2023 - anglický
Betweenness centrality is a network centrality measure based on the amount of shortest paths passing through a given vertex. A graph is betweenness-uniform (BUG)if all vertices have an equal value of betweenness centrality. In this contribution, we focus on betweenness-uniform graphs with betweenness centrality below one. We disprove a conjecture about the existence of a BUG with betweenness value α for any rational numberαfrom the interval (3/4,∞) by showing that only very few betweenness centrality values below 6/7 are attained for at least one BUG. Furthermore, among graphs with diameter at least three, there are no betweenness-uniform graphs with a betweenness centrality smaller than one. In graphs of smaller diameter, the same can be shown under a uniformity condition on the components of the complement.

On the development of a numerical model for the simulation of air flow in the human airways
Lancmanová, Anna; Bodnár, Tomáš; Sequeira, A.
2023 - anglický
This contribution reports on an ongoing study focusing on reduced order models for incompressible viscous fluid flow in two dimensional channels. A finite difference solver was developed using a simple implementation of the immersed boundary method to represent the channel geometry. The solver was validated for unsteady flow by comparing the obtained two-dimensional numerical solutions with analytical profiles computed from the Womersley solution. Finally the 2D model was coupled to a simple 1D extension simulating the flow in axisymmetric elastic vessel (tube). Some of the coupling principles and implementation issues are discussed in detail.

Simulating particle-laden flows: from immersed boundaries towards model order reduction
Isoz, Martin; Kubíčková, Lucie; Kotouč Šourek, M.; Studeník, Ondřej; Kovárnová, A.
2023 - anglický
Particle-laden flow is prevalent both in nature and in industry. Its appearance ranges from the trans-port of riverbed sediments towards the magma flow, from the deposition of catalytic material inside particulate matter filters in automotive exhaust gas aftertreatment towards the slurry transport in dredging operations. In this contribution, we focus on the particle-resolved direct numerical simulation (PR-DNS) of the particle-laden flow. Such a simulation combines the standard Eulerian approach to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with inclusion of particles via a variant of the immersed boundary method (IBM) and tracking of the particles movement using a discrete element method (DEM). Provided the used DEM allows for collisions of arbitrarily shaped particles, PR-DNS is based (almost) entirely on first principles, and as such it is a truly high-fidelity model. The downside of PR-DNS is its immense computational cost. In this work, we focus on three possibilities of alleviating the computational cost of PR-DNS: (i) replacing PR-DNS by PR-LES or PR-RANS, while the latter requires combining IBM with wall functions, (ii) improving efficiency of DEM contact solution via adaptively refined virtual mesh, and (iii) developing a method of model order reduction specifically tailored to PR-DNS of particle-laden flows.

On Reynolds-averaged turbulence modeling with immersed boundary method
Kubíčková, Lucie; Isoz, Martin
2023 - anglický
The immersed boundary (IB) method is an approach in the computational fluid dynamics in which complex geometry conforming meshes are replaced by simple ones and the true simulated geometry is projected onto the simple mesh by a scalar field and adjustment of governing equations. Such an approach is particularly advantageous in topology optimizations (TO) where it allows for substantial speed-up since a single mesh can be used for all the tested topologies. In our previous work, we linked our custom IB variant, the hybrid fictitious domain-immersed boundary method (HFDIB), with a TO framework and successfully carried out an optimization under laminar flow conditions. However, to allow for optimizations of reallife components, the IB approach needs to be coupled with an affordable turbulence modeling. In this contribution, we focus on extending the HFDIB approach by the possibility to perform Reynolds-averaged simulations (RAS). In particular, we implemented the k − ω turbulence model and wall functions for closure variables and velocity.

Finite element modal analysis of a silicone vocal fold filled with fluid
Hájek, P.; Radolf, Vojtěch; Horáček, Jaromír; Švec, J. G.
2023 - anglický
A three dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model of a silicone vocal fold (VF) filled with fluid is presented here. The silicone part of the model is based on partial differential equations of the continuum mechanics and consider large deformations. The fluid domain encapsulated in the silicone VF is defined semianalytically as a lumped-element model describing the fluid in hydrostatic conditions. The elongated and pressurized silicone VF was subjected to perturbed modal analysis. Results showed that the choice of the fluid inside the VF substantially influences the natural frequencies. Namely, the water-filling lowers the natural frequencies approximately by half over the air-filling. Besides, the procedure of reverse engineering for obtaining the geometry of the VF from already 3D-printed mold is introduced.

From John Graunt to Adolphe Quetelet: on the Origins Of Demography
Kalina, Jan
2023 - anglický
John Graunt (1620-1674) and Adolphe Quetelet (1796-1874) were two important personalities, who contributed to the origins of demography. As they both developed statistical techniques for the analysis of demographic data, they are important also from the point of view of history of statistics. The contributions of both Graunt and Quetelet especially to the development of mortality tables and models are recalled in this paper. Already from the 17th century, the available mortality tables were exploited for computing life annuities. Also the contribution of selected personalities inspired by Graunt are recalled here, the work of Christian Huygens, Jacob Bernoulli, or Abraham de Moivre is discussed to document that the historical development of statistics and probability theory was connected with the development of demography.

MAD UFOs: Magnetically Arrested Discs with persistent Ultra-Fast Outflows
Suková, Petra; Zajaček, M.; Karas, Vladimír
2023 - anglický
We study an outflow that develops in the MAD state in 3D GRMHD simulations. We show that the outflow can be accelerated to\nrelativistic velocities and persist over the course of our simulation. We compare the properties of the outflow from MAD discs with those launched by orbiting secondary at close orbit. The main difference is that the orbiting body launches a more coherent, quasiperiodic ultrafast outflow at lower velocities (v < 0.5c) while the outflow launched in the MAD state (without the body) has a stochastic behaviour and has anapproximately flat velocity distribution between lower anf higher outflow velocities, 0.2c < v < 0.3c and v > 0.5c.

TESTING THE METHOD OF MULTIPLE SCALES AND THE AVERAGING PRINCIPLE FOR MODEL PARAMETER ESTIMATION OF QUASIPERIODIC TWO TIME-SCALE MODELS
Papáček, Štěpán; Matonoha, Ctirad
2023 - anglický
Some dynamical systems are characterized by more than one timescale, e.g. two well separated time-scales are typical for quasiperiodic systems. The aim of this paper is to show how singular perturbation methods based on the slow-fast decomposition can serve for an enhanced parameter estimation when the slowly changing features are rigorously treated. Although the ultimate goal is to reduce the standard error for the estimated parameters, here we test two methods for numerical approximations of the solution of associated forward problem: (i) the multiple time-scales method, and (ii) the method of averaging. On a case study, being an under-damped harmonic oscillator containing two state variables and two parameters, the method of averaging gives well (theoretically predicted) results, while the use of multiple time-scales method is not suitable for our purposes.

We tried to reproduce results measured in the wind tunnel experiment with a CFD simulation provided by numerical model PALM. A realistic buildings layout from the Prague-Dejvice quarter has been chosen as a testing domain because solid validation campaign for PALM simulation of Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) over this quarter was documented in the past. The question of input data needed for such simulation and capability of the model to capture correctly the inlet profile and its turbulence structure provided by the wind-tunnel is discussed in the study The PALM dynamical core contains a solver for the Navier-Stokes equations. By default, the model uses the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) approach in which the bulk of the turbulent motions is explicitly resolved. It is well validated tool for simulations of the complex air-flow within the real urban canopy and also within its reduced scale provided by wind tunnel experiments. However the computed flow field between the testing buildings did not correspond well to the measured wind velocity in some points. Different setting of the inlet boundary condition was tested but none of them gave completely developed turbulent flow generated by vortex generators and castellated barrier wall place at the entrance of the aerodynamic section of the wind tunnel.
