Two body problem:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Two particles of mass 1g separated by 1cm, orbiting in a circle around their centre of mass.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Snapshots taken every 0.1 unit times, time unit chosen so that G = 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(Will do this again with more sensible units)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Apply a drift in the plane of the orbit. Plots show absolute fractional change in energy for drift speed = 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 unit velocities (circular velocity is 1/root(2)).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Box of size 12cm. Things go crazy when the particles drift off the edge of the box. |
