Simulating Desert Scenery

چکیده
An algorithm for simulating wind-ripples and moving sand is extended by the detection of fixed objects. This permits us simulation and animation of sand interacting with objects like houses, highways, cactuses, etc. Sand is accumulated on the windward side of an obstacle and the sand relocation and wind-ripples formation is diminished on the leeward side. The wind shadow depends on the object’s geometry and the wind speed and direction. Sand tongues are formed as the result of the sand motion.

An erosion model based on velocity fields for the visual simulation of mountain scenery
Visual simulation of natural scenery using computer graphics is an interesting research field with wide applications such as flight simulation and special effects in movies. There have been many studies of fractal techniques that use 1/f noise generated by FFT or the midpoint displacement method as modelling methods for imaginary mountain scenery. These methods are suitable for creating impress...
متن کاملPotential Assessment of ANNs and Adaptative Neuro Fuzzy Inference systems (ANFIS) for Simulating Soil Temperature at diffrent Soil Profile Depths
Objective: Soil temperature serves as a key variable in hydrological investigations to determine soil moisture content as well as hydrological balance in watersheds. The ingoing research aims to shed lights on potential of artificial neural networks (ANNs) and Neuro-Fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) to simulate soil temperature at 5-100 cm depths. To satisfy this end, climatic and...

متن کاملA Visit to the near East
gives one the charming scenery of the Greek Islands, Asia Minor and Syria. Some ships go alternately by routes (2) and (3). I met a man, indeed, who was trying a fourth way by the Turkish Railway through Asia Minor, and then from Constantinople by the Orient Express, which is practically overland all the way. Cairo, where I had arranged to meet my party, is not only rich in ancient mosques, chu...
متن کاملA comparison between desert and Mediterranean antlion populations: differences in life history and morphology.
We performed a transplant experiment to compare the life histories and morphologies of five geographically representative antlion Myrmeleon hyalinus populations along a sharp climatic gradient, from a Mediterranean climate in Israel's north to a desert climate in the south. Larvae were raised in two environmental chambers simulating Mediterranean and desert climates to investigate the extent to...
