Research on Motion Model of “Wind-Blowing & Trees-Swinging” and “Leaves-Falling & Branches-Broken” Based on Fractal Theory

Abstract:

Fractal technology can simulate the growth of trees very well.There have been many research on using fractal theory to model trees,but most methods have not further explore the tree’s natural phenomena such as swinging driven by wind Firstly, this paper gave a modeling method to generate the trees based on the three-dimensional fractal L system; Secondly, according to the hierarchy of the strength characteristics of the wind and trees progression, this paper also gave the wind model to simulate the natural wind farm.In the end , this paper made some simulation about the model of “Wind-Blowing & Tree-Swing and Leaves-Falling & Braches-Broken” .
