The simulation demonstrates how a rock mass progressively erodes into a streamlined yardang ridge as abrasive wind interacts with variable rock hardness over simulated time.
Adjust the wind speed, sand particle load, and rock hardness sliders, then run the simulation to watch the rock mass reshape in real time under the resulting abrasion pattern.
Sliders for wind speed, sand particle load, and rock hardness, plus a time-progression control
Some yardangs in Iran's Lut Desert, one of the hottest places on Earth, tower over 100 meters tall and are visible from space as parallel corrugations across the desert floor.
