Procedural generation of meandering rivers inspired by erosion
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a method of procedural generation of meandering rivers inspired by erosion, which can enhance visual realism of virtual terrains. Terrain is represented using an adaptively subdivided triangle mesh with additional information (e.g. amount of soft deposit) stored in vertices. Water is simulated using Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), modified in order to model erosion occurring within meanders. Most experiments were performed on an initially flat terrain, so in order to provide the initial disruption of an otherwise straight flow, a simple force simulating an exaggerated Coriolis effect was introduced.

The Effective Geomorphological Processes in Rivers Bank Erosion (Case Study: kashkan River)
The dimensions, shapes and the patterns of natural rivers change according to their dynamic properties. These unavoidable changes cause the rivers imbalance and a new balance will be formed. The around lands will be affected by this dynamic and dangers such as instability of the bed. In this research we used chronological inference method to study Kashkan River morphology. Kashkan river is loc...

This paper uses methods of terrain representation, creation and realism described in literature. In particular a combination of terrain synthesis using Fractional Brownian Motion, and erosion procedures is examined, as well as the procedural formation of rivers via squig curves. Other techniques are examined, such as Triangulated Irregular Networks and ridges generation are discarded in terms o...

Predictions of total and even partial changes in rivers patterns are as the most essential issues related to rivers geomorphology. In this regarding, a lot of researches have been done by geomorphologists. This research has explored Kordan River aqueduct morphology changes in bights areas of Afkaneh cone surface. Kordan river is the one which has been affected by various factors and has changed...
متن کاملEffects of Added Vegetation on Sand Bar Stability and Stream Hydrodynamics
Vegetation was added to a fully developed sandy point bar in the meander of a constructed stream. Significant changes in the flow structure and bed topography were observed. As expected, the addition of vegetative resistance decreased the depth-averaged streamwise velocity over the bar and increased it in the open region. In addition, the secondary circulation increased in strength but became c...

A great number of towns and villages are established along the rivers and especially on the terraces made by rivers. Under the influences of the river’s dynamic and discharge changes, these lands are constantly exposed to dangers such as the flood and instability of the river bed caused by the river meandering movements. Therefore, examining the meandering pattern of the rivers is necessary in ...
