Rotational frame of reference

July 11, 2023 ยท View on GitHub

  • Frame of reference is rotating with a single revolution per second
  • A single particle is inserted at (x,y) = (0.25,0.) and move on a linear path with v=(0.25,0.) in the stationary frame of reference
  • Due to the fictitious forces, the particle's trajectory in the rotational reference frame is complex.
  • For this motion there is an analytical solution (https://doi.org/10.1119/10.0005992) with which the simulation is compared.
