Item Interactive physically based Fluid and Erosion Simulation(The Eurographics Association, 2005) Neidhold, B.; Wacker, M.; Deussen, O.; Pierre Poulin and Eric GalinRealistically eroded terrain is a base of almost every outdoor visualization for simulators or computer games. In order to achieve convincing results physically based erosion algorithms are necessary. We present a new method that combines a non-expensive fluid simulation with an erosion algorithm. Both parts are running at interactive rates so the artist is able to influence the erosion process in real-time by changing simulation parameters or applying additional water to the scene. In this way, we support realism as well as design aspects during the terrain creation process. To simplify the three dimensional fluid simulation we use a newtonian physics approach that works on a two dimensional grid storing acceleration, velocity and mass. The method provides all features that are important for simulation of erosion e.g. moving, non-moving water (rivers, lakes) and evaporation. This allows us to support effects like dissolving, transportation and sedimentation of material in the erosion process.Item A Preliminary Approach of 3D Simulation of Soil Surface Degradation by Rainfall(The Eurographics Association, 2005) Valette, Gilles; Herbin, Michel; Lucas, Laurent; Léonard, Joël; Pierre Poulin and Eric GalinSoil surface structure and morphology deeply in uence a lot of processes of high agronomic and environmental relevance, such as mass and heat transfer through the soil-atmosphere interface, runoff and erosion, seed germination and seedling emergence. The soil surface structure of agricultural eld is in continuous evolution: it is strongly affected by tillage, and in between tillage operations, erosion by rainfall and runoff causes a progressive degradation of the structure whose intensity and speed partly depend on the initial state associated to tillage modalities. A soil surface degradation model could allow to predict this evolution of the soil surface structure, and even to help choosing adequate tillage practices and sowing dates. Erosion modelling has been addressed by soil scientists but also by computer graphic scientists in order to add realism to virtual landscapes. Mixing both of these points of view would be interesting to simulate and visualize the evolution of the soil surface of a cultivated soil. In this paper, we present our project of a simulator of soil surface degradation by rainfall at a small spatial scale (1 m2 or less), including visualization, and which is mainly based on a 3D cellular automata approach with a speci c type of cell. The choices made for the implementation of our model are discussed in the light of the results found in the literature with different modelling approaches.
