Human: What is kinetic sand?

Assistant: Kinetic sand is a simple model for sediment transport, which is really important in the real world for understanding what happens when rivers erode and deposit rocks, and how that impacts the size of bays and lakes.  In this model, sediment transport is basically limited by a thin layer of sand grains that form on the bottom of the water, and which move along as the water’s velocity changes.   It’s essentially frictionless and you can ignore sediment sticking and tearing apart.
