@a_donda, I've read this one https://www.udc.es/files/iux/almacen/articulos/cd27_art03.pdf, though the question is not about the exact hypothesis. Could you, please, explain your doubt?

Wave Rock isn't a significant geological structure that would require geologists to spend a lot of time analyzing it. It's effectively a granite dome that has one side eroded in the shape of a wave. The wave itself in no more than 2 m high & maybe 10 m long. It's located on featureless plane, surrounded by wheat or canola pastures. It's promoted by the locals to entice tourism to the sparsely populated region.

Is there a modelling of Wave Rock (Hyden Rock) formation?

I'm interested in the visualization of the formation process of "strange" objects like [Wave Rock](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_Rock) (flared slope). I've found articles describing hypotheses of the rock formation but I cannot find mathematical modeling (computer simulation) of it. Aren't modeling approaches of rocks popular in geomorphology because of complexity, long time periods to cover, and a lot of factors to take into account?
