Waves with octahedral symmetry on the sphere, 2d projection

Solution of the wave equation on a sphere. Reflecting obstacles have been placed around the vertices of a regular octahedron. The initial state is a set of circular waves of alternating sign, concentrated at the centers of the faces of the octahedron. The video shows an equirectangular projection.

Waves in a Julia set on the Riemann sphere, 2d projection

A solution of the wave equation in a domain on the Riemann sphere, which is given by an approximation of a Julia set with parameter 0.37468 + 0.21115 i. The initial state is given by two circular waves, with opposite longitudes and positive latitude, and opposite sign. The video shows an equirectangular projection of the sphere.

A meteor impact in the North Atlantic

This is a simulation of the wave equation on a sphere, with reflecting boundary conditions given by the Earth’s continents. The initial state is a circular wave concentrated around a point in the Atlantic Ocean. The point of view rotates around the sphere in the course of the simulation, moving towards the east (which is opposite the Earth’s rotation).
