Presentation Transcript

  1. Accurate Scientific Visualization in Research and Physics Teaching Tim Wendler Brigham Young University

  2. 3D Animation Engines can help in teaching the following principles 3D Random Walk The Differential Cross Section Fictitious Forces Thermal Expansion Gravitational Acceleration

  3. Orthographic Random Walk

  4. Perspective Random Walk

  5. The Differential Cross-Section

  6. A spinning disk letting go of spheres Inertial Frame of rotating disk releasing spheres at the disk’s instantaneous tangential velocity

  7. Fictitious Forces Revealed Non-Inertial Frame, look for the Coriolis and Centrifugal Forces

  8. Frame by Frame Coriolis Centrifugal

  9. Fictitious Forces Revealed On the third rotation Euler’s force contributes

  10. Pure State Oxygen Block Harmonic relationship between all vertices

  11. Zero Point Solid Oxygen Harmonic relationship between vertices

  12. Zero Point Solid Oxygen Coupled Harmonic motion between ~ 1500 vertices

  13. No Thermal Expansion Harmonic relationship between vertices is inaccurate

  14. Anharmonicityexpands vertices • On average the vertices spend more time away from each other compared to equilibrium • Results in thermal expansion

  15. Thermal Expansion Anharmonic relationship between vertices reveals thermal expansion

  16. Gravitational Acceleration

  17. Conclusion • Advantages to 3D Animation Environments in Teaching • Multiple Camera Views • Built in Solvers • Scriptable • Open Source Programs
