@mcnees I'm new to Twitter (and Mastodon), and no one seems to see my Tweets. Maybe I should try rightwing extremism?

Footage from the "2D gas simulator" I built in 2018 for a student research project. I really needed more energy to get higher frequency of collisions etc., but the velocity components came out pretty close to normal.

@gfrubi Oddly, the only journal I'm interested in submitting an article to any time soon (The Physics Teacher) takes Word submissions only if I remember correctly. I wish it was LaTeX!

Original Doppler efffect animations I developed for a physics course last week: subsonic speed, mach 1, mach 1.5 and mach 2 visualizations of the formation of the sound barrier and the shock wave cone.

A little piece of mathematical art I made after coding a doppler effect animation for a physics course: these points generate shock waves as they travel around a polar rose curve. youtube.com/shorts/RTWbdzmK0r0
