A finite difference code to simulate 2D advection-convection, or Rayleigh-Bernard, systems. Has the dependencies:
- Python 3.7
- Numpy
- SciPy
- Matplotlib
Run the code by changing the configuration values in main.py
and entering the following on your terminal:
python main.py
Make a video out of the results by going into the simulations
directory and using ffmpeg like this:
ffmpeg -framerate 5 -pattern_type glob -i '*.png' \
-c:v libx264 -r 30 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mp4
An example simulation with an unstable initial condition and 3:1 aspect ratio (which will favour 3 convection cells) is given below. This is the parameters currently set in main.py
.
