Biosphere 2 is a closed ecological system of high complexity built to
deepen the understanding of ecological systems, to study the dynamics
of closed ecologies,
and to learn to control their behavior. The use of modeling and
simulation is crucial in the achievement of these goals. Understanding a
physical system is almost synonymous with possessing a model of its
comportment.
The main goal of this study is the development of a dynamic bond graph
model that represents the thermal behavior of the complex ecological system
under study, Biosphere 2. In this work, a first model that captures the
behavior of the ecological system in a non-controlled environment is
presented.Postprint (published version
