Simulations in the Natural Sciences II

ESC202: Spring 2022: Monday Lecture: 13:00-14:00 Exercises: 14:00-17:00 in Y36-J-33

TAs: Stefan Schafroth and Sebastian Schulz (sebastian.schulz@uzh.ch)

Lectures

Assignments

In order to qualify for the final semester project and a passing grade you will need to hand in 80% satisfactory assignments (to the satisfaction of the TAs). Assignments should be individual and should be in python and provide a correct virtual environment!

For help getting started with virtual environments, please read carefully Python Virtual Environments for Pip and Python Virtual Environments for Conda.

You should email 3 things to Sebastian (sebastian.schulz@uzh.ch):

  1. The working python source code
  2. The requirements.txt file for your virtual environment
  3. A .pdf or .png image or animation of the output of your program

Template: template.zip

Instructions:

Please add the names of the people you work together (if you do) to the comment section of your python scripts.

Create a virtual environment using

Pip

- run virtualenv yourenv_name to create a virtual environment

- run source yourenv_name/bin/activate to activate yourenv_name

- install necessary libraries that you want using pip install package_name

- work in that directory, get your outputs (*.pdf, *.png, *jpeg, *.mp4, etc…)

- run pip freeze > requirements.txt to get your list of libraries

Conda

- run conda create -n yourenvname python=x.x anaconda to create a virtual environment

- run source activate yourenvname to activate yourenv_name

- install necessary libraries that you want using conda install -n yourenv_name package_name

- work in that directory, get your outputs (*.pdf, *.png, *jpeg, *.mp4, etc…)

- run conda list –export > requirements.txt to get your list of libraries

List of assignments

1. Build a partitioning function of particles like we introduced it in class. The hard part is making sure your partition function is really bomb proof, check all “edge cases” (e.g., no particles in the cell, all particles on one side or other of the partition, already partitioned data, particles in the inverted order of the partition, etc…). (Hand in by Feb 27 2022).

2. Implement a binary tree of cells which contain at most 8 particles each (see pseudo-code in the Teams Kursmaterialien folder). Then, implement the ballwalk algorithm as introduced in the lecture (making use of the dist2 function) to calculate the number of particles within a distance to a point in the box. (Hand in by March 6 2022)

3. For each particle calculate the “top-hat” density from the 32 nearest neighbors and plot it using a colormap. Use a priority queue with a heap algorithm to implement “replace” and “max” functions (you can make use of the heapq library for python). We will need the density to implement SPH so it needs to be well tested. Also, make sure it can work with periodic boundary conditions! (Hand in by March 13 2022)

4. Now, calculate the density using the Monaghan kernel defined in the lecture. Plot and compare to the density you get from the “top-hat” kernel (the Monaghan result should be a little smoother). (Hand in by March 20 2022)

5. Implement the SPH code introduced in the lecture to simulate the movement of the particles in the box, following the laws of hydrodynamics. You can start with a random particle distribution, or even simulate a “blast” with initial conditions where a particle somewhere has a high energy. (Hand in by March 27 2022)
