Resonances in a circle, excited by four sources @NilsBerglund

In this simulation of the wave equation, resonances are excited in a circular cavity, by sources placed in four secondary circular cavities. The design is inspired by cavity magnetrons, which are used to generate microwaves in microwave ovens.
The color hue depends on the height of the wave.

The simulation solves the wave equation by discretization. The algorithm is adapted from the paper hplgit.github.io/fdm-book/doc/pub/wave/pdf/wave-4print.pdf

Using three sources to excite resonant modes in a circle

$Waves of two different frequencies crossing a Poisson disc lattice Some recent simulations on this channel, such as https://youtu.be/Y9Zn8T8dYgg , showed waves of two different frequencies, produced by two different sources, crossing a regular lattice of scatterers. Here the regular lattice has been replaced by a random Poisson disc process (also known as blue noise process). Several previous simulations on this channel have shown that such a distribution of points is more effective as a barrier against waves than regular distributions, an effect related to Anderson localization. This is also the case here, and the energy color scale has been adapted to make the waves crossing the obstacles more visible. 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: 1:19 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).
