Analysis of the Structure and Hydraulic Function of Bordered Pits Using the Lattice Boltzman Method
Fluid flow between adjacent tracheids is realized through bordered pits in the xylem of conifers. The pit has an extremely small size and a highly complex structure. This paper presents a mesoscopic analytical method for the relationship between the pit structure and its hydraulic characteristics th...
