Implementing initial conditions for a numerically solved differential equation
Imagine someone jumping off a balcony under a certain angle theta and velocity v0 (the height of the balcony is denoted as ystar). Looking at this problem in 2D and considering drag you get a system of differential equations which can be solved with a Runge-Kutta method (I choose explicit-midpoint, not sure what the butcher tableu for this one is). I implemented this and it works perfectly fine, for some given initial conditions I get the trajectory of the moving particle.
My problem is that I want to fix two of the initial conditions (starting point on the x-axis is zero and on the y-axis is ystar) and make sure that the trajectory goes trough a certain point on the x-axis (let's call it xstar). For this of course exist multiple combinations of the other two initial conditions, which in this case are the velocities in the x- and y-direction. The problem is that I don't know how to implement that.
The code that I used to solve the problem up to this point:
1) Implementation of the Runge-Kutta method
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
def integrate(methode_step, rhs, y0, T, N):
star = (int(N+1),y0.size)
y= np.empty(star)
t0, dt = 0, 1.* T/N
y[0,...] = y0
for i in range(0,int(N)):
y[i+1,...]=methode_step(rhs,y[i,...], t0+i*dt, dt)
t = np.arange(N+1) * dt
return t,y
def explicit_midpoint_step(rhs, y0, t0, dt):
return y0 + dt * rhs(t0+0.5*dt,y0+0.5*dt*rhs(t0,y0))
def explicit_midpoint(rhs,y0,T,N):
return integrate(explicit_midpoint_step,rhs,y0,T,N)
2) Implementation of the right-hand-side of the differential equation and the nessecery parameters
A = 1.9/2.
cw = 0.78
rho = 1.293
g = 9.81
# Mass and referece length
l = 1.95
m = 118
# Position
xstar = 8*l
ystar = 4*l
def rhs(t,y):
lam = cw * A * rho /(2 * m)
return np.array([y[1],-lam*y[1]*np.sqrt(y[1]**2+y[3]**2),y[3],-lam*y[3]*np.sqrt(y[1]**2+y[3]**2)-g])
3) solving the problem with it
# Parametrize the two dimensional velocity with an angle theta and speed v0
v0 = 30
theta = np.pi/6
v0x = v0 * np.cos(theta)
v0y = v0 * np.sin(theta)
# Initial condintions
z0 = np.array([0, v0x, ystar, v0y])
# Calculate solution
t, z = explicit_midpoint(rhs, z0, 5, 1000)
4) Visualization
plt.figure()
plt.plot(0,ystar,"ro")
plt.plot(x,0,"ro")
plt.plot(z[:,0],z[:,1])
plt.grid(True)
plt.xlabel(r"$x$")
plt.ylabel(r"$y$")
plt.show()
To make the question concrete: With this set up in mind, how do I find all possible combinations of v0 and theta such that z[some_element,0]==xstar
I tried of course some things, mainly the brute force method of fixing theta and then trying out all the possible velocities (in an intervall that makes sense) but finally didn't know how to compare the resulting arrays with the desired result...
Since this is mainly a coding issue I hope stack overflow is the right place to ask for help...
EDIT: As requested here is my try to solve the problem (replacing 3) and 4) from above)..
theta = np.pi/4.
xy = np.zeros((50,1001,2))
z1 = np.zeros((1001,2))
count=0
for v0 in range(0,50):
v0x = v0 * np.cos(theta)
v0y = v0 * np.sin(theta)
z0 = np.array([0, v0x, ystar, v0y])
# Calculate solution
t, z = explicit_midpoint(rhs, z0, 5, 1000)
if np.around(z[:,0],3).any() == round(xstar,3):
z1[:,0] = z[:,0]
z1[:,1] = z[:,2]
break
else:
xy[count,:,0] = z[:,0]
xy[count,:,1] = z[:,2]
count+=1
plt.figure()
plt.plot(0,ystar,"ro")
plt.plot(xstar,0,"ro")
for k in range(0,50):
plt.plot(xy[k,:,0],xy[k,:,1])
plt.plot(z[:,0],z[:,1])
plt.grid(True)
plt.xlabel(r"$x$")
plt.ylabel(r"$y$")
plt.show()
I'm sure that I'm using the .any() function wrong, the idea there is to round the values of z[:,0] to three digits and than compare them to xstar, if it matches the loop should terminate and retrun the current z, if not it should save it in another array and then increase v0.
Edit 2018-07-16
Here I post a corrected answer taking into account the drag by air.
Below is a python script to compute the set of (v0,theta) values so that the air-dragged trajectory passes through (x,y) = (xstar,0) at some time t=tstar. I used the trajectory without air-drag as the initial guess and also to guess the dependence of x(tstar) on v0 for the first refinement. The number of iterations needed to arrive at the correct v0 was typically 3 to 4. The script finished in 0.99 seconds on my laptop, including the time for generating figures.
The script generates two figures and one text file.

(v0,theta) - The yellow line indicates the reference
(v0,theta)which would be a solution if there were no air drag.

Edit 2018-07-15
I realized that I overlooked that the question considers the drag by air. What a shame on me. So, my answer below is not correct. I'm afraid that deleting my answer by myself looks like hiding a mistake, and I leave it below for now. If people think it's annoying that an incorrect answer hanging around, I'm O.K. someone delete it.
The differential equation can actually be solved by hand,
and it does not require much computational resource
to map out how far the person reach from the balcony
on the ground as a function of the initial velocity v0 and the
angle theta. Then, you can select the condition (v0,theta)
such that distance_from_balcony_on_the_ground(v0,theta) = xstar
from this data table.
Let's write the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the
person at time t is x(t) and y(t), respectively.
I think you took x=0 at the wall of the building and y=0
as the ground level, and I do so here, too. Let's say the
horizontal and vertical velocity of the person at time t
are v_x(t) and v_y(t), respectively.
The initial conditions at t=0 are given as
x(0) = 0
y(0) = ystar
v_x(0) = v0 cos theta
v_y(0) = v0 sin theta
The Newton eqution you are solving is,
dx/dt = v_x .. (1)
dy/dt = v_y .. (2)
m d v_x /dt = 0 .. (3)
m d v_y /dt = -m g .. (4)
where m is the mass of the person,
and g is the constant which I don't know the English name of,
but we all know what it is.
From eq. (3),
v_x(t) = v_x(0) = v0 cos theta.
Using this with eq. (1),
x(t) = x(0) + \int_0^t dt' v_x(t') = t v0 cos theta,
where we also used the initial condition. \int_0^t means
integral from 0 to t.
From eq. (4),
v_y(t)
= v_y (0) + \int_0^t dt' (-g)
= v0 sin theta -g t,
where we used the initial condition. Using this with eq. (3) and also using the initial condition,
y(t)
= y(0) + \int_0^t dt' v_y(t')
= ystar + t v0 sin theta -t^2 (g/2).
where t^2 means t squared.
From the expression for y(t), we can get the time tstar
at which the person hits the ground. That is, y(tstar) =0.
This equation can be solved by quadratic formula
(or something similar name) as
tstar = (v0 sin theta + sqrt((v0 sin theta)^2 + 2g ystar)/g,
where I used a condition tstar>0. Now we know
the distance from the balcony the person reached when he hit
the ground as x(tstar). Using the expression for x(t) above,
x(tstar) = (v0 cos theta) (v0 sin theta + sqrt((v0 sin theta)^2 + 2g ystar))/g.
.. (5)
Actually x(tstar) depends on v0 and theta as well as g and ystar.
You hold g and ystar as constants, and you want to find
all (v0,theta) such that x(tstar) = xstar for a given xstar value.
Since the right hand side of eq. (5) can be computed cheaply,
you can set up grids for v0 and theta and compute xstar
on this 2D grid. Then, you can see where roughly is the solution set
of (v0,theta) lies. If you need precise solution, you can pick up
a segment which encloses the solution from this data table.
Below is a python script that demonstrates this idea.
I also attach here a figure generated by this script.
The yellow curve is the solution set (v0,theta) such that the
person hit the ground at xstar from the wall
when xstar = 8.0*1.95 and ystar=4.0*1.95 as you set.
The blue color coordinate indicates x(tstar), i.e., how far the
person jumped from the balcony horizontally.
Note that at a given v0 (higher than a threshold value aruond v0=9.9),
the there are two theta values (two directions for the person
to project himself) to reach the aimed point (x,y) = (xstar,0).
The smaller branch of the theta value can be negative, meaning that the person can jump downward to reach the aimed point, as long as the initial velocity is sufficiently high.
The script also generates a data file output.dat, which has
the solution-enclosing segments.
