Overview
Dune-Ash is a Dune application providing an interactive simulation of the ash transport after a volcano eruption in Europe.
Step-by-step, one can position the volcano, draw a wind field, choose the strength of the ash spreading over Europe and finally watch the simulation live on screen.

This project was originally developed in June/July 2011 for the Freiburger Wissenschaftsmarkt (Freiburg Science Fair).
In 2012 it was extensively overhauled for the participation in the MPE 2013 competition. Especially the user interface was redesigned for a natural experience on touch screen monitors.
