Dynamical clustering around a sphere moving into a grain cloud

Submitted by Sylvain Faure on mar, 05/10/2016 - 11:58

A bidimensional simulation of a sphere moving at constant velocity into a cloud of smaller spherical grains. A dense granular “cluster” zone builds progressively around the moving sphere until a stationary regime appears with a constant upstream cluster size (when grains are far from any boundaries and without gravity).

The results are obtained from SCoPI software which implements a non-smooth contact dynamics method.

Genaster

Genaster is a generalized asteroids game. The classic asteroids game glues the left screen edge with the right one and top edge with the bottom and therefore has a torus topology. This application considers other ways of gluing the screen edges.

During the final day of the Wiskunnend Wiske contest at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (see http://www. wiskunnendwiske.be) on pi-day 2016, we asked the participants (age 16 - 18) to create a picture of “Wiske” in surfer. The results were amazing!

Hiltrud Heinrich - Fractals

Submitted by Hiltrud Heinrich on jeu, 03/31/2016 - 18:53

After working with the SURFER program for many years, I discovered the fractal software Mandelbulber and Mandelbulb 3D in 2011. The later became my constant companion. After experimenting at first, I gradually combined different basic fractals and variations of those to develop images following specific themes, such as ‘Views of a City’, ‘Strange Worlds’ and ‘Twelfth Night’.

MathLapse - A Variation of the Spiral of Theodorus

Submitted by Christian Gaier on dim, 03/06/2016 - 20:59

Constructing iteratively square roots of integers with right angle triangles, a spiral is obtained which is named after Theodorus of Cyrene (5th century BC). Here, the procedure is varied by swapping each third triangle. This leads to a spirally band getting broader and broader.
