| beschreibung | Macroscopic root water uptake models proportional to a root density distribution function (RDDF) are most commonly used to model water uptake by plants. As the water uptake is difficult and labor-intensive to measure, these models are often calibrated by inverse modeling. Most previous inversion studies assume RDDF to be constant with depth and time or dependent on only depth for simplification. However, under field conditions this function varies with type of soil and root growth and thus changes with both depth and time. This study proposes an inverse method to calibrate both spatially and temporally varying RDDF in unsaturated water flow modeling. To overcome the difficulty imposed by the ill-posedness, the calibration is formulated as an optimization problem in the framework of the Tikhonov regularization theory, adding additional constraint to the objective function. Then the formulated nonlinear optimization problem is numerically solved with an efficient algorithm on the basis of the finite element method. The advantage of our method is that the inverse problem is translated into a Tiknonov regularization functional minimization problem and then solved based on the variational construction, which circumvents the computational complexity in calculating the sensitivity matrix involved in many derivative-based parameter estimation approaches (e.g., Levenberg-Marquardt optimization). Moreover, the proposed method features optimization of RDDF without any prior form, which is applicable to a more general root water uptake model. Numerical examples are performed to illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method. Finally, discussions on the stability and extension of this method are presented. |
