Abstract
We report a study of the relaxation process of Bak-Tang-Wiesenfeld's sand pile under uniform initial conditions. For most geometries and initial conditions the final states consist of intricate geometric patterns, some of which are self-similar. Even without randomness, the flow of sand during relaxation often displays 1/f behavior, and this arises from interactions between the diffusive flow and the development of the final pattern.
