Notes on modelling of environmental transport in wetland

Abstract This paper presents an effort towards a basic model for environmental transport of momentum, heat and mass transfer in the wetland. To smear out the discontinuity between the two phases of water and solid in the wetland, the continuum models distinctively applying for the water body and solid frame are transformed via the technique of phase average to give equations for a virtual single-phase flow in the entire domain of the wetland. Then to filter out the vortex and fluctuation common in the wetland flow, the operation of large eddy simulation (LES) is applied to yield a basic model for practical simulation. With reference to the modelling of flows in porous media and turbulent flows, closure relations are presented for the correlation terms due to the phase average and large eddy simulation.
