    Comp Sci Galaxy simulation with the velocity Verlet algorithm

    I've already solved the problem. In line 351 I called "aceleracionx" twice instead of using the y component, now I get the circular orbits perfectly! :D

    Comp Sci Galaxy simulation with the velocity Verlet algorithm

    I'm supposed to give them random velocities as well. But, just for the sake of checking, I'm giving them the orbital speed (not random at all), and I do not get a circular orbit. Therefore, there has to be a problem. If you read the code, line 87, there's the formula $$v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$$...

    Comp Sci Galaxy simulation with the velocity Verlet algorithm

    To simulate the trayectories of solar systems around a black hole (i.e. a galaxy) I have 3 classes in C++: cSystem, cBlackHole and cGalaxy. cSystem assigns initial values of position, velocity, etc to a solar system. cBlackHole does the same but just for the black hole. And cGalaxy mixes...

    Join the Discussion: Physics Undergrads Unite!

    Hey, I'm a physics undergraduate (currently in 4th year) in Spain. I felt like these forums are great for discussion, and also for help. I'm really happy to be a part of this community. Hope to see y'all again!
