Hi. I have this problem in trying to solve this PDE analytically. The PDE is represented by this diagram: Basically this is solving the Laplace equation with those insulated boundaries except it has that point diffusing its value across the plane. I know how to solve the Laplace equation...

Homework Statement A cube of mass M rests tilted against the wall as shown (see below). There is no friction between the wall and the cube, but the friction between the cube and the floor is just sufficient to keep the cube from slipping. When ##0\lt\theta\lt 45^\circ## find the minimum...

So I have this PDE: d2T/dr2 + 1/r dT/dr + d2T/dθ2 = 0. How do I implement dT/dr || [r = 0] = 0? Also, what should I do about 1/r? This is actually the first time I am going to attack FDF in polar/cylindrical coordinates. I can finite-difference the base equation fairly decently; I am just...

The 2D Laplacian in polar coordinates has the form of $$ \frac{1}{r}(ru_r)_r +\frac{1}{r^2}u_{\theta \theta} =0 $$ By separation of variables, we can write the ## \theta## part as $$ \Theta'' (\theta) = \lambda \Theta (\theta)$$ Now, the book said because we need to satisfy the condition ##...

I have completed a 2D finite difference code in MATLAB that has a domain of (0,1)x(0,1) and has Dirichlet Boundary Conditions of value zero along the boundary. I get convergence rates of 2 for second order and 4 for fourth order. My issue now is that I'm now wanting to change the domain to a...

Dear Community, I was trying to reproduce the 2D GrayScott model given either here: http://blogs.mathworks.com/graphics/2015/03/16/how-the-tiger-got-its-stripes/ or here: http://www.joakimlinde.se/java/ReactionDiffusion/index.php?size=0 The reason was to create a nice screen-saver (so I am...

Hi All, I needed some help or guidance starting my MSc reading, as there is tonnes of literature out there and it's difficult to understand what is necessary. I am beginning to look at applying screening models to a 2D system, such as the Thomas-Fermi continuum screening model, to a 2D system...

Homework Statement Serving at a speed of 170 km/h a tennis player hits the ball at a height of 2.5 m and an angle θ below the horizontal. The service line is 11.9 m from the net, which is 0.91 m high. What is the angle θ such that the ball just crosses the net? Will the ball land in the service...

I'm trying to put together a function that sums multiple 2D Gaussian functions in one graph (i.e.; multiple Gaussian pyramids). So far from my research, I formed the following function definition: I'm not sure if my research led me to the correct way of forming the function. Is this how...

Hi, I'm a product designer looking for some help. I need to fit squares into the dimensions of a rectangle. There can be any amount of squares just as long as the squares are complete and their dimensions are complete decimals. The dimensions are 16.5cm x 14cm. I don't want the squares to be...

Hi everyone. What are the components of the 2 Translational Killing Vectors in 2-dimensions, in Polar Coordinates? I've solved the Killing equation using Maple, and the solution was ##\xi_r = 0##, ##\xi_{\theta} = r^2##, but I guess that these are the components for the rotation Killing Vector...

I wasn't sure where to post this, I hope this was the right section. I've been struggling quite a bit with implementing an autocorrelation code into my current project. The autocorrelation as it is now, is increasing exponentially from 1 at the start of my MC run, and hitting 2 halfway through...

I've made a fluid flow simulator, for anyone interested in fluid dynamics. The simulator models some basic flows which I learned on a 2nd year fluid dynamics course. It doesn't include viscosity, density or whatever else (hence for example the flow past a sphere in the simulator is a perfect...

Wikipedia says this: "the dimension of a mathematical space (or object) is informally defined as the minimum number of coordinates needed to specify any point within it." Say that there is 1D space "contained" within 2D space and the former can be represented as a line in a 2D Cartesian...

The schematic figure, depicted below, shows a 2D layer (yellow) which is over an insulated layer shown by green (see (a)). A potential gate is below the insulator layer and I want to induce a constant potential in the part of the yellow layer located over the gate (See (b)). In other words, I...
