SimpleWindErosion
Procedural Wind Erosion / Abrasion / Suspension / Cascading / Aeolian Process Simulation
C++ implementation of a simple particle-based wind erosion system for terrain generation. This is an adaptation on related particle-based erosion systems, e.g. hydraulic erosion, designed to capture sediment transport, abrasion and cascading. The project is written primarily in C++, first published in 2020. Key topics include: abrasion, dune-simulations, erosion, geomorphology, particle.
