| This study concerns the numerical simulation of the behaviour of pelagic systems in marine environments by means of a coupled biological and physical model. The physical model is based on the resolution of the Navier-Stokes, temperature and salinity equations in the 3 dimensions of space with a turbulent closure model consisting of 2 supplementary equations ( Kappa - epsilon model). The tridimensional biological model distinguishes 5 areas: phytoplankton (alive and dead); dissolved inorganic nitrogen; herbivores (essentially copepods); and zooplanktonic wastes (dead bodies and fecal pellets). Other than biological relations (nutrition, excretion,...), the sedimentation of biogenic particles (alive and dead phytoplanktonic cells, dead herbivores) are also... |
