Three Body Problem Visualization

We simulate the restricted Euler problem and visualize known orbits from literature.

The visualization is at here.

To contribute to this project, make a fork and,

git clone https://github.com/<your-github-username>/Three-Body-Problem.git
cd Three-Body-Problem
npm install
npm run dev

The physics components are located in src/computation/cpp/ (the python version is also available, but takes significantly longer time to run). To run the simulation,

cd src/computation/cpp/
make
./simulation <num_output_steps> <dt> <input_file>

Note that num_output_steps refer to the number of 0.01 units of time steps (not dt units of time steps). For more accurate simulation results, $\mathrm{d}t < 0.001$ is recommended. The results of the simulation are precomputed with num_steps = 3600, dt = 0.00001 and stored in public/position_files/<method>/<orbit>, where <method> refers to the order of the symplectic integrator.
