A few days back, I posted some #AnimatedGifs of the exact solution for a large-amplitude undamped, unforced #Pendulum. I then thought to complete the study to include the case when it has been fed enough #energy to allow it just to undergo #FullRotations, rather than just #oscillations. Well, it turns out that it is “a bit more complicated than I first expected” but I finally managed it.

Here we see three identical pendulums, oscillating independently. The red and purple ones are vibrating with small amplitudes and so their periods are nearly the same. But the blue one is undergoing what would be considered to be very large amplitude oscillations and has a significantly longer period. In fact, as the amplitude approaches π radians, the period increases without bound and approaches infinity.

A subtlety probably difficult to spot in the animation is that the interaction of the two waves leaves them phase shifted, with the taller wave gaining position, while the shorter one loses it. This further animation shows the interactions again (purple) but I’ve also shown what would happen if each wave moved without interaction with the other (red and blue).

When you start looking at #NonlinearWaves, some of these principles no longer apply. For example, in the Korteweg-de Vries equation, which has #Soliton or solutions, you can no longer simply add two solutions together as the resulting function would not be a solution of the governing equation. Waves of different heights travel at different velocities, with the taller waves moving faster than the shorter ones. Instead, they interact #nonlinearly.

“My PhD was all about understanding what happens to blood flow in collapsible blood vessels like the giraffe jugular vein. In my postdoc I was investigating how to optimise ventilator settings for patients in ICU and then how to deliver inhaled therapies into the lungs. Since then, my focus has been in trying to understand how diseases like Asthma and other respiratory diseases originate and then progress. This involves incorporating biology and physics into mathematical and computational models, using approaches from different areas of applied maths. More recently I have started to look into the mechanisms that could lead to a rare lung disease called lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) and Long Covid.” - Bindi Brook
