利用元胞自动机模拟滩角地形

Simulating Beach Cusps with Cellular Automata

滩角是滩面上的一种特征地形。本文利用改进的元胞自动机模型,对滩角地形进行了模拟。结果表明滩角的形成过程具有自组织特征,因此滩角可以通过海滩泥沙、地形与波、流的自组织过程形成。指出自组织理论为从不同的侧面认识和研究海岸带现象与过程提供了一扇窗口。

Beach cusps are very important rhythm topography on the beachface. Based on an advanced cellular automata model, the beach cusps formation are simulated successfully. The results show that the self-organized processes between the sediment, topography and swash can induce the formation of beach cusps. All of the results show that the self-organized theory provides a new way to study the coastal phenomena and processes.
