Stocks and Lifetime Models

pydantic model flodym.Stock

Stock objects are components of an MFASystem, where materials can accumulate over time. They consist of three flodym.FlodymArray objects: stock (the accumulation), inflow, outflow.

The base class only allows to compute the stock from known inflow and outflow. The subclasses allows computations using a lifetime distribution function, which is necessary if not both inflow and outflow are known.

pydantic model flodym.LifetimeModel

  • inflow_at (str)

  • n_pts_per_interval (int)

  • time_letter (str)

Validators:

field dims: DimensionSet [Required]
field inflow_at: str = 'middle'

If no quadrature is used, all inflow happens at one point in time, either at the beginning of the time period (start), in the middle (middle) or at the end (end).

field n_pts_per_interval: int = 1

Inflow into the stock is in reality quite uniform over time, while survival factors only take into account a single point in time. This can be alleviated here by using numerical integration over each inflow time period with n points. A value of 1 means that the inflow is only evaluated once, depending on the inflow_at parameter. This is the default and should be used for long life times, e.g. >> 1 year. For n_pts > 1, the inflow is evaluated at n points in time within the time period. inflow_at is ignored in this case. A value of 2 means evaluation at the beginning and end of the time period, while higher values additionally evaluate at more points within the time period. Higher point numbers are only needed for short life times, e.g. < 1 year. Default is 1, meaning that the inflow is evaluated only once per time period.

compute_outflow_pdf()

Returns an array year-by-cohort of the probability that an item added to stock in year m (aka cohort m) leaves in in year n. This value equals pdf(n,m).

compute_survival_factor()

Survival table self.sf(m,n) denotes the share of an inflow in year n (age-cohort) still present at the end of year m (after m-n years). The computation is self.sf(m,n) = ProbDist.sf(m-n), where ProbDist is the appropriate scipy function for the lifetime model chosen. For lifetimes 0 the sf is also 0, meaning that the age-cohort leaves during the same year of the inflow. The method compute outflow_sf returns an array year-by-cohort of the surviving fraction of a flow added to stock in year m (aka cohort m) in in year n. This value equals sf(n,m). This is the only method for the inflow-driven model where the lifetime distribution directly enters the computation. All other stock variables are determined by mass balance. The shape of the output sf array is NoofYears * NoofYears, and the meaning is years by age-cohorts. The method does nothing if the sf alreay exists. For example, sf could be assigned to the dynamic stock model from an exogenous computation to save time.

get_quad_points_and_weights()

Returns the quadrature points and weights for the inflow time periods.

pydantic model flodym.NormalLifetime

Normally distributed lifetime with mean and standard deviation. Watch out for nonzero values, for negative ages, no correction or truncation done here. NOTE: As normal distributions have nonzero pdf for negative ages, which are physically impossible, these outflow contributions can either be ignored ( violates the mass balance) or allocated to the zeroth year of residence, the latter being implemented in the method compute compute_o_c_from_s_c. As alternative, use lognormal or folded normal distribution options.
