Modeling Falling and Accumulating Snow
The use of computer graphics to produce special effects is currently being applied with great results in especially the entertainment and game industry. One area where computer graphics is not quite ready to replace all real effects is natural phenomena where a lack of general models exists. In this work we present a general model for falling and accumulating snow. The appearance and movement o...
متن کاملOrigin of diversity in falling snow
This paper presents a systematic way to examine the origin of variety in falling snow. First, we define shape diversity as the logarithm of the number of possible distinguishable crystal forms for a given resolution and set of conditions, and then we examine three sources of diversity. Two sources are the range of initial-crystal sizes and variations in the trajectory variables. For a given set...
متن کاملThe physics of snow crystals
We examine the physical mechanisms governing the formation of snow crystals, treating this problem as a case study of the dynamics of crystal growth from the vapour phase. Particular attention is given to the basic theoretical underpinnings of the subject, especially the interplay of particle diffusion, heat diffusion and surface attachment kinetics during crystal growth, as well as growth inst...
متن کاملAggregation of needle snow crystals
For the purpose of studying the early process of snowflake growth, characteristics of the Ž . aggregation collision–adhesion process of needle snow crystals were investigated by examining photomicrographs of snowflakes composed of two crystals. The adhesion type of the snowflakes was classified into crossed adhesion and point adhesion types. When the sizes of the two crystals were similar, whic...
متن کاملThe thermal evaluation of snow line and identification of potential areas of snow falling in the Alborz Mountains with NOAA-AVHRR images
Abstract The extention of Snow cover and its spatial and temporal changes considered as a basic parameter in climatic and hydrologic studies. Data from satellite images due to the low cost and the large extention of cover are, effectively help the identifying of the snowy basins. Since the satellites are able to imaging a surface at different times, this will allow snow survey studies to inves...
