N-Body Simulation Program
Kollárová, Martina ; Martinek, David (referee) ; Peringer, Petr (advisor)
The n -body problem simulator predicts the motion of celestial bodies by numerically integrating the laws of motion. Gravitational interactions are computed directly between the bodies using Newton's classical mechanics and the bodies are modelled as point masses. The application animates the problem and will be available under the GPL licence. It can be used while teaching continuous simulation to show accuracy differences between numerical integrators with various time steps. It can also serve as an experimentation tool for physics students. Some basic examples are included in the project, like the Solar System and the three body problem with the Earth, Moon and Sun.
