🏜️ Desert Dune Dynamics and Wind Erosion: 2D Saltation and Migration Lab

2D companion of Desert Dune Dynamics: a periodic dune profile evolved with a Lettau saltation flux law, a saturation length, crest speed-up, lee-side shelter, avalanching at the repose angle and an Exner mass balance. Change wind, grain size and dune height and read the migration speed.
