SANDY (simulation program)

SANDY (Simulation and Animation of Neutral Density and Sedimentation) is a computer program used to model how sediment particles settle in water or other fluids. It helps scientists and engineers predict how sediments, such as silt or sand, behave over time, particularly in environments like rivers, lakes, or coastal areas. By simulating particle movement and accumulation, SANDY supports the study of erosion, sediment transport, and hydrodynamic processes, informing environmental management and engineering decisions. It provides a visual and numerical understanding of sediment dynamics without the need for extensive real-world testing.
