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 - Filling between two spheres in SphericalPlot3D

Manipulate[ SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, Mesh -> None, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], {n, 0, 1}] I cant' seem to be able to make a filling between two spheres. I've already tried the obvious Filling -> {1 -> {2}} but Mathematica doesn't seem to like that option. Is there any easy way around this or ... Answer There is no built-in filling in SphericalPlot3D . One option is to use ParametricPlot3D to draw the surfaces between the two shells: Manipulate[ Show[SphericalPlot3D[{1, 2 - n}, {θ, 0, Pi}, {ϕ, 0, 1.5 Pi}, PlotPoints -> 15, PlotRange -> {-2.2, 2.2}], ParametricPlot3D[{ r {Sin[t] Cos[1.5 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[1.5 Pi], Cos[t]}, r {Sin[t] Cos[0 Pi], Sin[t] Sin[0 Pi], Cos[t]}}, {r, 1, 2 - n}, {t, 0, Pi}, PlotStyle -> Yellow, Mesh -> {2, 15}]], {n, 0, 1}]

plotting - Plot 4D data with color as 4th dimension

I have a list of 4D data (x position, y position, amplitude, wavelength). I want to plot x, y, and amplitude on a 3D plot and have the color of the points correspond to the wavelength. I have seen many examples using functions to define color but my wavelength cannot be expressed by an analytic function. Is there a simple way to do this? Answer Here a another possible way to visualize 4D data: data = Flatten[Table[{x, y, x^2 + y^2, Sin[x - y]}, {x, -Pi, Pi,Pi/10}, {y,-Pi,Pi, Pi/10}], 1]; You can use the function Point along with VertexColors . Now the points are places using the first three elements and the color is determined by the fourth. In this case I used Hue, but you can use whatever you prefer. Graphics3D[ Point[data[[All, 1 ;; 3]], VertexColors -> Hue /@ data[[All, 4]]], Axes -> True, BoxRatios -> {1, 1, 1/GoldenRatio}]

plotting - Mathematica: 3D plot based on combined 2D graphs

I have several sigmoidal fits to 3 different datasets, with mean fit predictions plus the 95% confidence limits (not symmetrical around the mean) and the actual data. I would now like to show these different 2D plots projected in 3D as in but then using proper perspective. In the link here they give some solutions to combine the plots using isometric perspective, but I would like to use proper 3 point perspective. Any thoughts? Also any way to show the mean points per time point for each series plus or minus the standard error on the mean would be cool too, either using points+vertical bars, or using spheres plus tubes. Below are some test data and the fit function I am using. Note that I am working on a logit(proportion) scale and that the final vertical scale is Log10(percentage). (* some test data *) data = Table[Null, {i, 4}]; data[[1]] = {{1, -5.8}, {2, -5.4}, {3, -0.8}, {4, -0.2}, {5, 4.6}, {1, -6.4}, {2, -5.6}, {3, -0.7}, {4, 0.04}, {5, 1.0}, {1, -6.8}, {2, -4.7}, {3, -1.
