Exciting spirals in a circle with sixteen out of phase sources @NilsBerglund

Like several previous videos on this channel , this one shows waves in a circular cavity excited by pulsing sources in other, connected cavities. In this case, there are sixteen sources, pulsing a fraction 1/32 of a period out of phase. The resulting wave patterns start to resemble spirals, as suggested in comments to a previous video.
This video has two parts, showing the same evolution with two different color gradients:
Wave height: 0:00
Averaged wave energy: 1:27
In the first part, the color hue depends on the height of the wave. In the second part, it depends on the energy of the wave, slightly averaged over a sliding time window. The color dependence on wave height has been chosen quite important, so that the darker regions concentrate near the nodal lines of the waves, that is, the curves where the wave height is zero.

$Waves of two different frequencies crossing a hexagonal lattice Several recent videos on this channel showed waves from two different sources, with different frequencies, crossing a diffraction grating. This simulation is similar, except that there are now 24 columns of obstacles, so maybe this should not be called a grating anymore. Nevertheless, it is interesting to see what kind of interference and diffraction patterns are created. One thing that stands out here is how more energy is able to cross certain channels, in particular from the lower source. The frequency of the lower source is three times the frequency of the upper one. The resulting wavelengths are such that the open intervals in the grating are between both wavelengths. As a result, waves of the lower source pass the grating more easily, as can be best seen on the energy plot. This video has two parts, showing the same evolution with two different color gradients: Wave height: 0:00 Averaged wave energy: 1:07 In the first part, the color hue depends on the height of the wave. In the second part, it depends on the energy of the wave, averaged over a sliding time window. The contrast has been enhanced by a shading procedure, similar to the one I have used on videos of reaction-diffusion equations. The process is to compute the normal vector to a surface in 3D that would be obtained by using the third dimension to represent the field, and then to make the luminosity depend on the angle between the normal vector and a fixed direction. There are absorbing boundary conditions on the borders of the simulated rectangle. The display at the right shows a time-averaged version of the signal near the right boundary of the simulated rectangular area. More precisely, it shows the square root of an average of squares of the respective field value (wave height or energy).
