Byline:
W. Christian
Post a comment | Relations
The Falling in Fluid model shows a sphere falling through a fluid. It is a supplemental simulation for an article by Pirooz Mohazzabi "Falling and Rising in Water" in the The Physics…
Bead on a Hyperbolic Tangent Model  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:
100
Byline:
T. Bensky and M. Moelter
Post a comment | Relations | Standards
The Bead on a Hyperbolic Tangent model computes the dynamics if a bead constrained to slide on a hyperbolic tangent shaped wire. The model uses an Euler algorithm to evolve the…
