differential equations - Changing a wave simulation


I want to adjust some code that I found on this Wolfram Demonstration: http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/WaterRipplesPassingThroughASlit/


Basically it shows a wave passing through a single slit. I want to change the code so that there is no longer any slit, so the wave just bounces off the walls. It's that bit I'm having trouble with. I'll put the code I have now then explain what I think it's doing and what I've tried:


Manipulate[
With[{ripple = iter[tf]},

Show[ListPlot3D[ripple, Mesh -> False, PlotRange -> {-1, 1},
ImageSize -> 450, ColorFunction -> "PearlColors", Axes -> False]]],
{{tf, .45, Style["t", Italic]}, 0.05, 1., 0.001, ImageSize -> Tiny},

ControlPlacement -> Left,
SynchronousInitialization -> False,
SynchronousUpdating -> False,
Initialization :> (
n = 64; dx = 1.0/(n - 1.);
Courant = 1/Sqrt[2];
dt = (Courant dx)/c; c = 1.;
iter = Compile[{{tf, _Real}},
Module[{z1 = ConstantArray[0., {64, 64}],
z2 = ConstantArray[0., {64, 64}]},

Do[{z1, z2} = {z2, z1}; z1[[32, 16]] = Sin[16. \[Pi] t];
Do[If[0.45 < i/n < 0.55 || ! 0.48 < j/n < 0.52,
z2[[i, j]] =
1/(1. + 5. dt) (Courant^2 (z1[[i - 1, j]] + z1[[i + 1, j]] +
z1[[i, j - 1]] + z1[[i, j + 1]])) - z2[[i, j]]], {i,
2, 63}, {j, 2, 63}], {t, 0., tf, dt}]; z1]];)]

I don't think anything before 'Initialization' needs to be changed. The second half sets up two 64X64 grids z1 and z2. They get updated by the Do command. The part that seems to be directly about the slit is


       Do[If[0.45 < i/n < 0.55 || ! 0.48 < j/n < 0.52, 
z2[[i, j]] =

1/(1. + 5. dt) (Courant^2 (z1[[i - 1, j]] + z1[[i + 1, j]] +
z1[[i, j - 1]] + z1[[i, j + 1]])) - z2[[i, j]]], {i,
2, 63}, {j, 2, 63}], {t, 0., tf, dt}]

Because it is telling the program to do something if the grid in question is where the slit should be. The issue is that I can't just delete that part, because then the wave doesn't evolve over time! It's like the instructions for how the other parts of the grid should act are also in that line, but I don't understand it.


Any hints at all would be so useful, I've been stuck for a day!



Answer



As I wrote earlier you just have to delete the condition. To explain a little bit:


n = 64;
arr = Array[Boole[0.45 < #/n < 0.55 || ! 0.48 < #2/n < 0.52] &, {64, 64}];


ArrayPlot[arr, ImageSize -> 300]

enter image description here


Black area is the area where condition inside If allows the wave to propagate.


So if the wave is comming from the left and face the "wall" it just stops. And the part that manage to get through the slit can propagate again in all directions as there is all in Black.


By removing this condidtion we are leaving whole area Black.

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...

functions - What best practices or performance considerations are there for choosing between Cases, Position, Pick and Select?

Cases , Select , Pick and Position each have different syntaxes and purposes, but there are times when you can express the same calculation equivalently using either of them. So with this input: test = RandomInteger[{-25, 25}, {20, 2}] {{-15, 13}, {-8, 16}, {-8, -19}, {7, 6}, {-21, 9}, {-3, -25}, {21, -18}, {4, 4}, {2, -2}, {-24, 8}, {-17, -8}, {4, -18}, {22, -24}, {-4, -3}, {21, 0}, {19, 18}, {-23, -8}, {23, -25}, {14, -2}, {-1, -13}} You can get the following equivalent results: Cases[test, {_, _?Positive}] {{-15, 13}, {-8, 16}, {7, 6}, {-21, 9}, {4, 4}, {-24, 8}, {19, 18}} Select[test, #[[2]] > 0 &] {{-15, 13}, {-8, 16}, {7, 6}, {-21, 9}, {4, 4}, {-24, 8}, {19, 18}} Pick[test, Sign[test[[All, 2]] ], 1] {{-15, 13}, {-8, 16}, {7, 6}, {-21, 9}, {4, 4}, {-24, 8}, {19, 18}} test[[Flatten@Position[test[[All, 2]], _?Positive] ]] {{-15, 13}, {-8, 16}, {7, 6}, {-21, 9}, {4, 4}, {-24, 8}, {19, 18}} Are there performance or other considerations that should guide which you shou...
