Session 7 activities worksheet

Due: February 14                         Regrades until: March 20

Online listings: eigen_basis_class.cpp and diffeq_oscillations.cpp printouts.

Now that we've got routines to solve differential equations, we're going to explore some interesting ones: nonlinear oscillators. Today we'll play with a program that solves for the time dependence of such an oscillator.
Your goals for today (and ...):

· If you didn't complete it, do the plot from Session 6 of relative error at t=1 vs. mesh size h.

· Think about how to enhance the eigen_basis code with more C++ classes.

· Run a code that solves the differential equation for a (driven) nonlinear oscillator and explore how the time dependence changes as various input parameters change.

· Add friction (damping) to the code.

A) More on C++ Classes: eigen_basis_class

The code eigen_basis_class.cpp is a simple modification of eigen_basis.cpp to use the Hamiltonian class we introduced for eigen_tridiagonal_class.cpp. Here we'll take a few minutes to think about how to introduce additional classes.

1. Take a look at the eigen_basis_class.cpp printout and note how the Hamiltonian class is re-used without modification. (If you haven't done so yet, read the discussion of this class in the Session 7 notes.) The only tricky change is that matrix indices go from 1 to dimension rather than from 0 to dimension-1. What parts of the Hamiltonian class implementation do you not yet understand? 

2. The potential is another good candidate for a class. We'd like to just evaluate the potential at r without having to use constructions like the switch statement in the Hij_integrand function with all the messy void parameters. (Think about how awkward and prone to error it is to add another potential.) What would you like the declaration statement (the one where the Potential object is declared in the main program) for the Potential class to look like? What method(s) would you like the class to have? 

3. Give at least one example of an additional class that would be useful to define. 

B) Driven Nonlinear Oscillations

The Session 7 notes describe the driven nonlinear oscillator that is coded in diffeq_oscillations.cpp. Note that the force depends on k and an exponent p, the external force has a magnitude f_ext, a frequency w_ext, and a phase phi_ext. The initial conditions in position and velocity are designated x0 and v0. You also have control over the time interval (increase t_end to see longer times), the step size h, and how often points are printed to the file (plot_skip).

1. Use make_diffeq_oscillations to create diffeq_oscillations. This code outputs to the file diffeq_oscillations.dat five columns of data: t, x(t), v(t), kinetic energy, and potential energy. There are four gnuplot plot files provided (diffeq_oscillations1.plt, etc.), each of which generates a different type of plot. Run diffeq_oscillations with the default values (enter "0" when it says "What do you want to change?") to calculate a data set. Start gnuplot and "load diffeq_oscillations1.plt" and then "load diffeq_oscillations2.plt". (Once you've given these commands once, you can use just use the arrows to go back and forth.) Briefly, what do each of these plots show? 

2. Wouldn't it be convenient to generate all four plots at once in separate files? Load "diffeq_oscillations_all.plt"! (Check the warning in the file on what to do if you get an "unknown or ambiguous terminal type" error message!)

3. It's always a question whether or not you have coded a problem correctly, so you should always seek ways to check your results. One possibility is if we have a known solution. This works for p=2 (simple harmonic oscillator). What about other p? Another check is to identify a quantity that shouldn't change with time. Create a plot of such a quantity (you'll want to increase t_end) and observe the effect of changing the step size h to a larger value [e.g., try 10 and 100 times larger]. How do you decide on a reasonable h to use? 
(The "plot_skip" parameter indicates how often a point is written to the output file. So plot_skip=10 means that every 10 points is output.)

4. Verify that different amplitudes (e.g., different initial conditions determined by x0 and v0) lead to different periods for an anharmonic oscillator (p≠2). [Hint: You might find the "append" option useful.] Can you identify a qualitative rule? E.g., does larger amplitude mean shorter or longer period always? Try to explain the rule? Make sure you try different values of p, since they might lead to different rules! 

5. Go back to the original parameters (quit the program and start it again), which has p=2. Now add a driving force f_ext=10 with w_ext=1 and look at the time dependence and phase-space plots. Then increase w_ext to 3.14 and then to w_ext=6.28. What are you observing? Now repeat with p=3 (starting with f=0). Can you find resonant behavior? 

C) Adding Damping

Real-world systems have friction, which means the motion will be damped. The Session 7 notes have a list of three simple models for friction. We'll implement viscous damping: Ff = -b*v, where v(t) is the velocity.

1. Introduce the damping parameter "b" into the code: 

1. add it to the force_parameters structure (with a comment!);

2. add it to the list of local force parameters in the main program;

3. give it an initial value;

4. add a menu item (e.g., [13]) and a case statement to get a new value.

Try this part out before proceeding. Did it work? 

2. Modify the "rhs" routine to include damping (you're on your own here!). What did you add? 

3. Test your routine starting with p=2 and a small damping and look at both the time dependence and the phase-space plots. Then try some other p values.

4. Identify the three regimes described in the Session 7 notes: underdamped, critically damped, and overdamped.

D) EXTRA: Looking for Chaos (Part I)

Now we want to put it all together: a damped, driven, nonlinear oscillator. A different system with the same basic features is the realistic pendulum, which is described in the Session 7 notes.

1. In the notes there is a list of characteristic structures that can be found in phase space, with sample pictures. Can you find a combination of parameters for the non-linear oscillator that produce a pictures like the chaotic one in the notes? Provide the parameters you used and include a phase space plot. Make sure to set t_end to something large (e.g., 400), so that you are not only looking at transients. Also make sure to think about the necessary conditions for chaos when selecting your parameters and to turn on some damping (without that you will see transients forever).

E) Reflection

Write down which of the six learning goals on the syllabus this worksheet addressed for you and how:
