🏜 Sand Dune Wind — 2D Saltation, Slip Face and Dune Migration

2D companion of the sand dune wind simulation: a slab model of saltation with wind-shadow zones and avalanches at the angle of repose, Bagnold sand flux and threshold shear velocity, crest migration and height history, with mass-conservation and slope checks.
