AUTOMATON*
Sound_Waves
This uses the HPP_Gas model to perform an experiment. A uniform gas is set
up & into this inserted a compressed region (represented by a solid block
of particles); this corresponds to the air surrounding the source of a loud
burst of noise. As the automaton runs, we observe the compressive
longitudinal wave spreading out from the centre; notice how we are
temporarily left with a vacuum in the centre as the outward bound gas
overshoots. With difficulty you may also be able to see that the incoming
ripple which forms, then compresses the central region & bounces back out,
to create a secondary outward bound wave front of lower intensity than the
first. If you use a relatively small window (say 128x128) you will also
observe patterns formed by the original wavefront wrapping around &
interfering with the other waves.
