Stalagmite Growth Simulation 3D Diffusion Limited Aggregation Vladislav Karchevsky
How Stalagmites are Formed • Water picks up minerals and carbon dioxide on its way down • Calcium Bicarbonate interacts with air and turns to calcite • Calcite accumulates on the ceiling => Stalactite • Calcite deposits on the ground => Stalagmite • Used 3D diffusion limited aggregation to simulate water dripping from ceiling
