RESUMO

The solution of a differential parcial parabolic equation of the Heat Flow on the Soil allows to simulate temperatures along a specific profile. For that, it is necessary to work with the soil analytical solution, but this solution is too complex for certain field situation. For this reason one of the methods of working soil temperature simulation are the called Numerical Methods of Finite Differences which allow to change the first and second order derivades for the called numerical scheme. In this work the main objective was to simulate temperature data with conditions of contour and initials so that they could be compared with observed temperature data of a meteorological station built on a field of naked soil (DNIT). We took into consideration external and internal facts which affect the soil temperature, such as solar radiation, heat flow, precipitation, humidity and thermal diffusivity that were calculated or for the station or for the simulation through the soil temperature data. In the case of humidity the method used was the gravimetric that allowed calculate the amount of water on that studied soil. On the other hand, for the diffusivity, two methods were used, one for the soil energy propagation and the other of analytic way, with the use of the known formula. The observed data were built in tables where we showed the rhythm of temperature variation along the day of March, as the considered days were only the even days, because the main reason was to evaluate the explicit model. After that the temperature data simulated by the numerical method were also put in graphics so that they could be compared with the observed ones. We noted that on days 09, 11 and 18 there were quite good approximation. This work has its importance in the data acquisition, as well as one more source to be used by the researchers of the area, and by beginners in the process of modeling of soil.
