In this lesson we will create the objects required for the turnover model. In the same way as in Tutorial 2-Creating a compartment model, you will use the Matrix window to create blocks in the Interaction matrix.
Creating blocks
Name | Type | Full name | Symbol | Image |
---|---|---|---|---|
Source | Source/Sink | Atmospheric Source | “media/Atmoshpere.jpg” | |
Upper_Soil | Compartment | Upper soil layer | AUpper | “media/Soil 3.jpg” |
Lower_Soil | Compartment | Lower soil layer | ALower | “media/Soil.gif” |
Sink | Source/Sink | “sources/Drain.jpg” | ||
Deposition | Transfer | Deposition transfer rate | ||
Upper_to_Lower | Transfer | Perculation transfer rate coefficient | ||
Lower_to_Sink | Transfer | Perculation transfer rate coefficient |
Creating parameters
Rather than specifying the initial conditions and transfer rate coefficients directly, we will create parameters for these values. This approach makes it possible to perform probabilistic analysis, sensitivity analysis and parameter optimization. It also makes it easier to enter and review the values.
Name | Value |
---|---|
Deposition | “input” |
Lower_Soil | “ic” |
Lower_to_Sink | “TC” |
Upper_Soil | “ic” |
Upper_to_Lower | “TC” |
