The aim is to examine the behaviour of the system when a wave is driven from the left hand side and reflects off the right hand side.
Use MacCormack Technique to :
- Solve the symmetric wave equations. 2. Code a simulation that iterates through time plotting u(z) and b(z) for each timestep. J4. -or 3. Describe the time evolution of the system (make sure that you allow it to run for long enough to reach a steady state). ¦¦¦ 4. It may be interesting to produce a movie of this
- What happens when you increase and decrease c by modifying its component parameters?
- Compare with an exact solution of wave equation.
