Modeling the formation of a stellar system and matter accretion
I am trying to figure out what do I need to know to properly simulate the creation of a solar system from a particle cloud with random distribution of hydrogen atoms.
Being more of a programming ...

Calculating gravity with inclometer?
How would one calculate the gravity vector for [X,Y,Z] by using an inclinometer which gives Pitch, Yaw and Roll.
A little explanation of the goal: I have a accelerometer I was planning to use to map ...

Repulsive forces at large distances
I'm currently writing a 3D $n$-body simulator (similar to what you see here to simulate the evolution of a system of n particles under the force of gravity.
It works fine for "smaller" scale ...

Better equations for modeling and simulating a halo orbit?
I'm trying to model a halo orbit at low altitude (10m from surface). The satellite is using propulsion to trace the circular halo path. It looks like this "from the top" (the blue ball is ...

Topological illustration of spacetime dilation: which function should I use for isometric lines spacing?
Scientific popularization, when it comes to illustrating spacetime dilation around massive objects, often relies on the description of a two-dimensional square-grid, which can be regarded as a cross-...

What is the Correction Function in Poisson's Equation for MOND?
I am looking to do a celestial simulation using MOND for the final project of my intermediate mechanics course. From the Wikipedia page, it seems that preserving Newton's Third Law requires deriving a ...

Circular velocity vector on the surface of spherical potential (gravity)
So, I would like to integrate paths of particles on circular velocity on the surface of a sphere (due to some potential, i.e. gravity).
The problem is to fix the two angular velocities $\dot \theta $ ...

Calculating trajectory of ballistic spacecraft
I have a scenario of a spacecraft departing from the far side of Mars (from Earth) at a particular date arriving at Earth at a particular date, without acceleration after launch I would like to know ...
