Abstract

Presents a robust method for simulating the development and evolution of eolian dune fields. Forms from the simple transport algorithm as similar to barchain, crescentic ridge, linear and star natural dune classes; Simulated dune fields as complex systems, with sand-dune classes being dynamical attractors of these systems.
