3.1. Growth¶
There is 2 different implementations of the growth module.
3.1.1. SoleGrowthAction.java
¶
In this implementation, the length increment only depends on temperature and is given by:
with \(L\) the length, \(T\) the temperature and \(\Delta t\) the time step in days, and \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) are parameters (c1
and c2
respectively).
The temperature field is provided by the temperature_field
parameter.
3.1.2. LinearGrowthAction.java
¶
In this implementation, the length increment is provided as follows:
where \(\Delta t\) is the time-step (in days), \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) are parameters (coeff1
and coeff2
), \(T_{thres}\) is a temperature threshold (threshold_temp
parameter), \(F\) is the food quantity and \(K_S\) is
a half-saturation constant (half_saturation
parameter). If the latter is not defined or equals 0, \(Q\) is assumed to be \(1\).
The name of the food and temperature variables are provided by the food_field
and temperature_field
parameters.
