MATLAB code accompanying the publications
Generalised Jeffery's equations for rapidly spinning particles. Part 1: Spheroids by M. P. Dalwadi, C. Moreau, E. A. Gaffney, K. Ishimoto, and B. J. Walker
Generalised Jeffery's equations for rapidly spinning particles. Part 2: Helicoidal objects with chirality by M. P. Dalwadi, C. Moreau, E. A. Gaffney, B. J. Walker, and K. Ishimoto.
Minimal code for exploring the dynamics is contained in the "main" folder.
Running either of the scripts main_spheroidal.m and main_helicoidal.m will simulate and plot the motion of a spheroidal or helicoidal particle in shear flow. The setup can be customised by editing the top section of each of these files.
Plotting can be customised by editing plot_solution.m and plot_sphere.m, the latter of which is found in the helpers directory.
Each script generates one of the figures from the publications above.
Scripts with "data" in their filename generate at MATLAB data file containing the data with which the corresponding movie is generated. It is necessary to run them before building the movies with the "frame" scripts.
Scripts with "frame" in their name build the movie using the generated data.
