Lava flow Flowing algorithm for AA lava type, channel creation, surface crust formation, viscosity evolving with temperature, lava cooling and solidification over time. |

|
Lava river formation (move cursor over image for infrared view !) |
|
|
Particle simulation Complex particle systems are used for lava fountain and matter projection, such as lava bomb or lapilli. This forms various kinds of structures : cones, hornitos... |
|
 Cone created by particle simulation |
 Structures emerges from plane ground |
|
Dynamic ground The ground is also simulated as a flow, it is sculpted by lava and particles, geologic structures created by the simulation are very close to the existing ones. |
|
|
Objects interactions The lava can carry environment objects like rocks or trees, and heavy objects can deviate lava flow. |
|
|
Eruptive cracks From one to hundreds of meters, eruptive cracks can be tuned by choosing flow rate, pressure, lava temperature, incline, eruptive cycle... |
