Stalactite Formation Simulation By Ruben Escolero

Formation of Stalactites Water carries calcium bicarbonate through the cracks of the roof of the cave As these drops come out the cracks travel along the roof of the cave, they will at some point evaporate and deposit calcite on the roof This eventually forms a stalactite on the ceiling Simulated these droplets using DLA by having one source of water from the center and water drops also coming from all sides Each drop would evaporate with a certain probability Also, the steeper the gradient of the surface, the higher the probability is that the drops would travel downward Probability = -10^-(g/10) + 1 where ‘g’ is the gradient
