# n-body-problem
Investigation of the N-Body problem via numerical methods. In particular, we considered how the Figure of 8 behaves under perturbations to its velocity.

## How To Run a Simulation

To run a simulation, you simply need the ```NBody``` and a child class of ```Integrator```.

1) **Instantiate ```NBody```**: this contains all the physical information of the simulation, such as the positions, velocities and masses of the bodies, alongside physical quantities (such as energy and angular momentum). Moreover, you can specify constants (```collision_tolerance```and ```escape_tolerance```) that provide break points.
2) **Instantiate ```Integrator```**: this calculates the orbits of the NBody instance. I recommend using ```Leapfrog3``` as it is the most accurate and simple. It takes an ```NBody``` alongside other parameters, such as the time step, or whether to use an adaptive constant.
3) **Calculate Orbits**: simply use the ```get_orbits()``` method of the ```Integrator``` instance
4) **Display Orbits**: simply use the ```show_orbits()``` method. It can plot in 2D and 3D (both options animated), and also in grid-mode, by which it will display properties of the system over time.

Below is an example of what can be run:

```
import numpy as np

from nbodysim.nbody import NBody
from nbodysim.integrators.leapfrog_3 import Leapfrog3

STEPS = 10**3
DELTA = 10**-2
TOLERANCE = 10**-3
ADAPTIVE_CONSTANT = 0.1
ADAPTIVE = False

init_positions = np.array([[0,1,0], [0,-1,0]])
init_velocities = np.array([[0.4,0,0], [-0.4,0,0]])
masses = np.array([1,1])

nbod = NBody(init_positions, init_velocities, masses)
nbod.G = 1

integ = Leapfrog3(nbod, steps = STEPS, delta = DELTA, tolerance = TOLERANCE, 
                  adaptive = ADAPTIVE, adaptive_constant = ADAPTIVE_CONSTANT, store_properties = True)

print(nbod)
print("-"*20 + "\n")
integ.get_orbits()
print(nbod)
integ.show_orbits(grid = True)
```

This should produce the following grid plot:

<p align = "center"><img src="https://github.com/alv31415/n-body-problem/raw/main/img_resources/test_code_result.png" width = 720 height = 432></p>

and display the following in terminal:

## How To Get a Stability Image

To produce a Stability Image, you simply need a file from ```stability_investigation```. To calculate the image, use ```MPStabilityPlotter``` instead of ```StabilityPlotter``` as the former uses Python's ```multiprocessing``` to speed up calculations. By default, we perturb a Figure of 8, and use ```Leapfrog3``` with adaptive time step to compute orbits

1) **Instantiate ```MPStabilityPlotter```**: this requires parameters for the size and number of perturbations, alongside parameters to instantiate the simulations.
2) **Calculate Stability Matrix**: simply use the ```get_stability_matrix()``` method of the ```MPStabilityPlotter``` instance.
3) **Display the Stability Matrix**: simply use the ```plot_stability_matrix()``` method of the ```MPStabilityPlotter``` instance. You can also specify arguments for the plot (number of ticks, continuous colormap, etc ...), as well as for saving the output (as an image, or as JSON). JSON saving can also be used without plotting via the ```stability_matrix_to_json()``` method. If we specify ```fig_name = None```, it automatically generates a file path using the parameters of the instance.

Alternatively, after instantiating the plotter, running ```plot_stability_matrix()``` with ```stability_matrix = None``` will automatically calculate the stability matrix and plot it.

For example:

```
from nbodysim.stability_investigator.mp_stability_plotter import MPStabilityPlotter

mpsp = MPStabilityPlotter(perturb=0.005, n_trials=500, collision_tolerance = 10**-3, escape_tolerance = 10, steps = 10**4, delta = 10**-2, tolerance = 10**-2, adaptive_constant = 0.1, delta_lim = 10**-5)
stability_matrix = mpsp.get_stability_matrix()
mpsp.plot_stability_matrix(stability_matrix, n_ticks = 10, grad = True, show = True, save_fig = True, save_matrix = False, fig_name = None, json_name = "my_json.json")
```

which produces:

<p align = "center"><img src="https://github.com/alv31415/n-body-problem/raw/main/img_resources/report_data/stability1001-perturb0_005-time100-AC0_1-DL1e-05-ET10-CT0_001-TOL0_01.png"></p>

Examples of the stability images, alongside the JSONs they produce can be found in my GitHub repo <a href = "https://github.com/alv31415/n-body-problem/tree/main/img_resources">here</a>.

The stability image can be made more interesting by colourising the degree of stability of the stable regions. For this, use ```StabilityAnalyser```  The easiest, fastest way of instantiating is by providing a ```StabilityPlotter``` alongside the ```stability_matrix``` that we want to colourise. Alternatively, we can pass the parameters of a ```StabilityPlotter``` alongside the file path to a JSON containing the ```stability_matrix``` in order to instantiate. The simplest way to obtain the new image is by running ```plot_updated_stability_matrix()``` with ```sb_scores = None, square_size = 0.01```, alongside other arguments like the ones for ```plot_stability_matrix()```. For example:

```
from nbodysim.stability_investigator.mp_stability_plotter import MPStabilityPlotter
from nbodysim.stability_investigator.stability_analyser importStabilityAnalyser

mpsp = MPStabilityPlotter(perturb=0.005, n_trials=100, collision_tolerance = 10**-3, escape_tolerance = 10, steps = 10**4, delta = 10**-2, tolerance = 10**-2, adaptive_constant = 0.1, delta_lim = 10**-5)
stability_matrix = mpsp.get_stability_matrix()
mpsp_analyser = MPSPAnalyser(mpsp, stability_matrix)
mpsp_analyser.plot_updated_stability_matrix(sb_scores = None, square_size = 0.01, n_ticks = 10, grad = True, show = True, save_fig = False, save_matrix = False, fig_name = "report_imgs/sb_scores_HD")
```

which under the hood does:

```
from nbodysim.stability_investigator.mp_stability_plotter import MPStabilityPlotter
from nbodysim.stability_investigator.stability_analyser importStabilityAnalyser

mpsp = MPStabilityPlotter(perturb=0.005, n_trials=100, collision_tolerance = 10**-3, escape_tolerance = 10, steps = 10**4, delta = 10**-2, tolerance = 10**-2, adaptive_constant = 0.1, delta_lim = 10**-5)
stability_matrix = mpsp.get_stability_matrix()
mpsp_analyser = MPSPAnalyser(mpsp, stability_matrix)
mpsp_analyser.update_stability_matrix(sb_scores)
sb_scores = mpsp_analyser.get_stability_scores(0.01)
mpsp_analyser.plot_updated_stability_matrix(n_ticks = 10, grad = True, show = True, save_fig = False, save_matrix = False, fig_name = "report_imgs/sb_scores_HD")
```

resulting in:
