This is a particle simulation project based on the work of Thomas Schmickl and Martin Stefanec of University of Graz, Austria. It simulates the movement of particles in a universe and visualizes the results using Matplotlib.
This project uses Poetry to manage dependencies. If you don't have Poetry installed, you can use pip for installation.
If you have Poetry installed, you can install the project dependencies by running the following command in the project directory:
poetry shell
poetry installThis will create a virtual environment and install all the required packages.
If you don't have Poetry installed, you can use pip to install the dependencies. Run the following command in the project directory:
pip install -r requirements.txtTo run the simulation, you can use the following command:
python main.pyThis will start the simulation and display the results using Matplotlib.
One can experiment with the simulation by changing the initial conditions in the main.py file. The initial conditions are defined in the initial_conditions.py file.
Some interesting initial conditions have been provided in the interesting_conds.py file, which can be called by:
python interesting_conds.py <initial_condition_name>| Initial Condition Name | GIF |
