Simulations of Standing Waves Kevin Kha EPS 109
Description of Method • Model the movement of various waves traveling through a finite medium with some tension (string, cords, wire, etc.) • Method of solving: • Equation: • Solve like Heat Equation: 2nd order ODE • Reflecting boundary conditions to simulate walls
Movie • Run the script with: standing_wave.m • Use different initial conditions by changing the equation for u Initial Conditions: U = sin(x)
Movie Initial Conditions: U = e^(x^2) U = e^(x^4)
Movie Initial Conditions: U = sin(x)*e^(x^2) U = cos(x)*e*(x^2)
Movie Initial Conditions: U = sin^2(x)*e^(x^2) U = cos^2(x)*e^(x^2)
