## Introduction

Physics simulations are powerful tools for visualizing and understanding physical processes and phenomena. This repository includes simulations such as the Double-Slit Experiment, Cellular Automata, the Double Pendulum, Fluid Dynamics, and Magnetism, which help illustrate core concepts in quantum mechanics, complex systems, fluid mechanics, and electromagnetism.



## Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following software installed:

- Python 3.x

- Jupyter Notebook

- NumPy

- Matplotlib

- Other dependencies as specified in the notebooks



## Installation

Clone the repository and install the required libraries:



```bash

git clone https://github.com/hbarquanta/Physics-Simulations.git

cd Physics-Simulations

## Contents



### Double-Slit Experiment

- **Double_Slit_Experiment.ipynb**: This notebook simulates the famous double-slit experiment, demonstrating the wave-particle duality of light and matter.

  - **Animations**: View the animations [here](https://github.com/hbarquanta/Physics-Simulations/tree/main/Animations/schroedinger_equation_2d_evolution_double_slit.gif).



### Cellular Automata

- **Celular Automata.ipynb**: This notebook explores cellular automata, including the Game of Life, illustrating how simple rules can lead to complex behaviors.

  - **Animations**: View the animations [here](https://github.com/hbarquanta/Physics-Simulations/tree/main/Animations/automata_simulation.gif).



### Double Pendulum

- **Double_Pendulum.ipynb**: This notebook describes the theoretical framework of the (chaotic) Double Pendulum, explores how a slight change of initial conditions leads to completely different solutions after a certain time span i.e. chaotic behavior, and also includes the basic code for the standalone application.

- **[Double Pendulum Application](Applications/Double_Pendulum/Double_Pendulum_App.py)**: This application simulates the motion of a double pendulum.

  - **How to Run:**

    ```bash

    cd Applications/Double_Pendulum

    pip install -r requirements.txt

    streamlit run Double_Pendulum_App.py

    ```

  - **Live Demo**: Check out the live demo [here](https://physics-simulations-doublependulum.streamlit.app/).

  - **Animations**: View the animations [here](https://github.com/hbarquanta/Physics-Simulations/tree/main/Animations/double_pendulum_simulation.gif).



### Fluid Dynamics

- **Fluid_Dynamics.ipynb**: This notebook contains a basic implementation of fluid dynamics simulations using the Navier-Stokes equations.

- **[Fluid Dynamics Application](Applications/Fluid_Dynamics/Fluid_Dynamics_App.py)**: This Streamlit application simulates fluid flow around various objects, such as circles, squares, ellipses, cars, and planes.

  - **How to Run:**

    ```bash

    cd Applications/Fluid_Dynamics

    pip install -r requirements.txt

    streamlit run Fluid_Dynamics_App.py

    ```

  - **Live Demo**: Check out the live demo [here](https://physics-simulations-fluid-dynamics.streamlit.app/).

  - **Animations**: View the animations [here](https://github.com/hbarquanta/Physics-Simulations/tree/main/Animations/fluid_dynamics_simulation.gif).



### Magnetism

- **Magnetism.ipynb**: This notebook explores the magnetic field generated by bar magnets and simulates various configurations to visualize the resulting magnetic fields.

- **[Magnetism Application](Applications/Magnetism/Magnetism_App.py)**: This Streamlit application simulates the magnetic field generated by two bar magnets, allowing users to control the dimensions, positions, and orientations of the magnets.

  - **How to Run:**

    ```bash

    cd Applications/Magnetism

    pip install -r requirements.txt

    streamlit run Magnetism_App.py

    ```
