Theory - Wave Equation on String

Application

This model solves the wave equation in 1 dimension with a resistive term. (Wave equation description from MathWorld.)

Algorithm

A finite difference approach is used, where the wave is broken up into segments. (Finite difference description from MathWorld.)

Architecture

The solution was solved in Stella, and converted to a Java Applet using Stella2Java.
