2D Nuclear simulator
Hello everyone, I would like an opinion on this computational physics project that I've developed over the past few weeks. The image shown is part of the animation gif that you can check on my Github repo. In this simulation a fusion between two alpha particles is shown and after the collision, as you can see, the new nucleus starts to oscillate.
If you have some time just try and run it on Google Colab (I've left the Jupyter Notebook file).
I tried to build it as scientifically accurate as possible, this means that the simulation you will see in the video is not "fluid" dynamics, but real wavefunctions that constantly interact. Clearly, I had to employ an approximation which does not consider a single n-dimensional function (which gets a computational monster), but instead considers the mean field generated by the n particles.
The next step should be the 3D one, but we'll see. Right now I think that this project already captures quite some phenomena.
