Image of Pelletier Computer Simulations

Caption: These images show how the simulated rocks ended up being spaced by the computer simulations. The image on the left is the starting position. The image on the right shows the final spacing of the rocks. The yellow streaks behind the rocks represents the sand piled up behind the rocks by the wind.
