Over these past few weeks I have finished six codes for the fluid dynamics project. One of the codes plots all the data collected from DIABLO. Another code places a marker to track the individual fluid particles; a second code to this one is for placing a marker on every single fluid particle. Another code is for taking snap pictures of the different vortices. This last codes is to help with using the fourth order runge kutta method to determine the time that particles stick together.
Hello everyone, this week I was able to finalize a code on MATLAB where I placed a marker on every single fluid particle in my simulation. With this code, I am able to see the formation of vortices much clearer. The next step in my project will be to write a code that uses a fourth order Runge Kutta to integrate and determine the time it takes for the vortices to dismantle and the particles to flow out of the vortice.
Hello everyone, these past two weeks I have been working on creating a MATLAB code to be able to place a marker or tracker on the fluid particles. With this tracker I hope to be able to follow its trajectory. If I can get my tracker code to work, then I should be able to implement this and track all of the particles in my simulation.
Hello everyone. This week me and Lianyue have been continuing to work on coding. This week, however, we jumped into coding for our project on fluid dynamics. On my behalf, I used a program called DIABLO where I was able to manipulate parameters such as the number of vortices that are introduced into our field, which eventually affects the enstrophy. Using this program, I also made the size of my grid. Once these, and other parameters, were modified, we wrote code on MATLAB to be able to take this information and analyze. We wrote code on MATLAB to be able to read all that information and make a figure that displays the formation of vortices. Lianyue took pictures of our results and will be posting the pictures on the blog.
Hello everyone. This week Lianyue and I begin to work on coding. I created a series of codes to solve certain equations such as areas and volumes. I taught Lianyue the basics of coding with MATLAB. I was very surprised because Lianyue is very good at coding. She grasped the MATLAB commands really quick. I can tell that she can be a programmer. In the upcoming weeks we will be working on more complicated codes as we bridge in our project.
Hello everyone. This week me and Lianyue were scheduled to begin coding. However, the computer lab that has MATLAB was not available because there was a class going on. We had to find an alternative time to work on coding. This upcoming Saturday we will be coding a series of codes to learn to use MATLAB. We are very excited to code MATLAB scripts.
Hello everyone. This week I have been working on finishing a set of MATLAB exercises that I will use to show Lianyue how to code in MATLAB. Although they are basic, they will help her understand the basics of coding. I'm also finishing a set of exercises to show her some advanced techniques in math that will help with our project.
