Model of Oil Slick: Random Walks Everywhere
Setup
Testing of different opening formations
Square Splotch
Circular Splotch
Line-like Splotch
Convex Hulls, Vertices, and Areas
Area of square splotch after 100 steps
Brief Comparison of Outline and Data
Areas from different numbers of steps - all with square as opening formation
Area Relations For Square
Addition of Random Step Sizes
Areas, etc with Random Size Steps (between 0 and 1 of course)
A More continuous brand of the previous bit
Addition of Wind Factor
Areas, etc with random size steps...and Wind!
Periodic Changes in wind direction
Addition of a Coastline (boundary conditions)
General Coastlines, without Wind
Coastlines with wind toward beach (purely in y-direction)
Coastlines with wind at 45 degrees to beaches
