The difficulty is keeping a model physically meaningful while running it over an entire catchment or dune field, which rules out direct numerical simulation. These models are designed with geophysicists and geomorphologists, so that what they produce reads as a plausible history of the terrain and not only as a plausible image of it. https://perso.liris.cnrs.fr/apeytavi/website/publication/hal-02273039/ Wed, 01 Jan 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://perso.liris.cnrs.fr/apeytavi/website/publication/hal-02273039/ We present an interactive aeolian simulation to author hot desert scenery. Wind is an important erosion agent in deserts which, despite its importance, has been neglected in computer graphics. Our framework overcomes this and allows generating a variety of sand dunes, including barchans, longitudinal and anchored dunes, and simulates abrasion which erodes bedrock and sculpts complex landforms.
