Modelling a dune field

We present a model to describe the collective motion of barchan dunes in a field. Our model is able to reproduce the observation that a typical dune stays confined within a stripe. We also obtain some of the pattern structures which resemble those observed from aerial photos which we do analyse and compare with the specific field of Laâyounne.
