Branching river network (experts)

  • Post published:10th April 2020
  • Post category:Experts

For experts. All the following equations and parameters are described in the Theory page. Why rivers networks have many branches or not? If we compare the simulations of this site…

Unrealistic mountain height (beginners)

  • Post published:7th April 2020
  • Post category:Beginners

For Beginners Some simulations produce unrealistic mountain heights (> 10 km). The reference simulation uses a combination of erodibility, tectonic uplift, and rainfall parameters, which produces a reasonable mountain height.…

Stationarity of mean erosion rate but topography still moving (beginners)

  • Post published:26th March 2020
  • Post category:Beginners

For beginners. At the end of simulations, it can be seen that a nearly steady-state has been reached: the maximum elevation does not change so much. If you plot the…
