Simulation package for interacting particle systems

Calculates a system of ordinary differential equations in terms of positions X and velocities V, subject to force depending on all X and V, using an explicit Runge-Kutta scheme of second order.

It is primarily designed to model interacting forces that result in behavior of a swarm.

Furthermore, there is functionality to record system state and system visualization. Initial conditions, force terms (right hand side, RHS), parameters for RHS, can be replaced for every time step, to allow for change of parameters during a running simulation, e.g. for an interactive app.

• Go to Setup to learn about installation steps

• Go to Literature to learn more about the model used in this package

• notebooks/presentation.ipynb contains the model idea as well as an overview about how to use this package.

• A Bokeh app is distributed with this package, which launches the swarm simulation and lets you modify the model parameters while it is running. It can be launched from the repository folder with

  bokeh serve --show bokeh_app/swarm.py
