A finite difference code to simulate 2D advection-convection, or Rayleigh-Bernard, systems. Has the dependencies:

  1. Python 3.7
  2. Numpy
  3. SciPy
  4. Matplotlib

Run the code by changing the configuration values in main.py and entering the following on your terminal:

python main.py

Make a video out of the results by going into the simulations directory and using ffmpeg like this:

ffmpeg -framerate 5 -pattern_type glob -i '*.png' \
  -c:v libx264 -r 30 -pix_fmt yuv420p out.mp4

An example simulation with an unstable initial condition and 3:1 aspect ratio (which will favour 3 convection cells) is given below. This is the parameters currently set in main.py.
