Geomorphological changes in young soils with sparse vegetation: Mathematical modeling and numerical simulation.

ABSTRACT: This article presents an improved mathematical model and numerical simulation for weathering of large areas with complex topography. It uses the equations of momentum, temperature, and humidity in turbulent air and for heat and water infiltration into soils. A mathematical model is also presented to calculate the soil porosity fraction produced by physical rock weathering in areas where soil is produced from intrusive rocks (batholiths). An algorithm based on air velocity, humidity (rainfall), temperature variation, and soil topography was developed to quantify soil erosion and change of relief at each point and time step in air, at the ground surface, and within the soil. This results in a complete air-soil model based on conservation laws that have not previously been applied to large ar
