<h1>n-body solution generator</h1>
<p>This post requires JavaScript to be viewed properly :(</p>
<p>Adapted from the Numerics Tutorial - <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/kirklong/ThreeBodyBot/tree/master/NumericsTutorial">kirklong/ThreeBodyBot</a>. The Julia code has been rewritten in JavaScript.</p>
<p>Workflow:</p>
<ul>
<li>Understand the problem</li>
<li>Visualise a basic orbit</li>
<li>Solve and plot the classic figure-8 orbit</li>
<li>Random n-body solution generator</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>To workaround memory issues, the simulations are only run on-demand when the user clicks the respective button. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the results.</strong></p>
<h2>The n-body problem</h2>
<p>The n-body problem is a classic puzzle in physics (and thus astrophysics) and mathematics that deals with predicting the motion of multiple celestial objects that interact with each other through gravitational forces. </p>
<p>Imagine you are observing a <em>cosmic dance</em> between multiple celestial bodies, all tugging on one another as they move through space. The n-body problem aims to understand and predict the paths of these objects as they move through space.</p>
<p>When <code>n=2</code>, i.e we have only two objects, say the Earth and the Moon, we can easily apply Newtonian physics to predict their motion. However, when <code>n>2</code>, the problem becomes much more difficult to solve analytically.[1] This is because each object feels the gravitational pull from all other objects, and thus the equations of motion become coupled and non-linear. </p>
<p>As the number of objects increases, finding an exact solution becomes impossible, and we rely on analytical approximations.</p>
<h2>Visualising a basic orbit</h2>
<p>If we want to create a n-body simulation in our browser, we need to figure out how we are going to visualise the motion of the objects. There are a few ways to do this, but the easiest is to use Plotly.js, a JavaScript library for creating interactive graphs. (An alternative is to use the HTML5 canvas element).</p>

<p>This code simulates the orbit of Earth around the Sun, using a numerical method called the Runge-Kutta 4th order (RK4) method.</p>
<p>First, we define some constants:</p>
<p>G: the gravitational constant (6.67e-11 N m²/kg²)
Msun: the mass of the Sun (2e30 kg)
AU: an astronomical unit, the average distance between Earth and Sun (1.5e11 m)
v0: the initial velocity of Earth, calculated from its distance to the Sun
Next, the function dR takes the position r and velocity v of Earth as input and returns the rate of change in position (dr) and the rate of change in velocity (dv) using the gravitational force formula.</p>
<p>We then initialize the position r and velocity v of Earth, and create an array t that represents time in years, divided into 1001 steps. We also define yearSec as the number of seconds in a year and dt as the time step in seconds.</p>
<p>Now, we integrate the Earth's motion using the RK4 method. For each time step, we calculate the rates of change for position and velocity (k1, k2, k3, k4) and update Earth's position and velocity based on these. We store the updated position in x4Plot and y4Plot.</p>
<p>Finally, we normalize the position data by dividing it by the astronomical unit (AU) to make it more visually meaningful. We also create a circle for reference, which represents a perfect circular orbit. The code ends with the data for the Sun's position, Earth's orbit, and the reference circle ready to be plotted.</p>
<h3>Plotting the orbit</h3>
<p>Now that we have the data for the Sun's position, Earth's orbit, and the reference circle, we can plot them using Plotly.js.</p>

<h2>Figure of 8 orbit</h2>
<p>The figure of 8 solution[2] in the three-body problem refers to a unique and special trajectory where three celestial bodies (e.g., planets, stars) move in a figure of 8 shaped pattern around their mutual center of mass. This is special because it represents a stable and periodic solution to the three-body problem, which is known for its complexity and lack of general solutions.</p>
<p>In the figure of 8 solution, each of the three bodies follows the same looping path, but with a phase difference such that when one body is at one end of the loop, the other two are symmetrically positioned elsewhere along the path. The bodies maintain equal distances from each other throughout their motion, and their velocities and positions are perfectly balanced to maintain this periodic motion.</p>
<p>The figure of 8 is interesting because:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>It is a relatively stable solution, which means that the objects continue to follow the same looping path almost indefinitely.</p></li>
<li><p>It breaks down the notion that no simple periodic solutions exist for the three-body problem.</p></li>
<li><p>It looks cool!</p></li>
</ul>
<h3>Show me the code</h3>
<p>The code for this simulation is very similar to the Earth-Sun orbit simulation, except that we now have three bodies instead of two. We also use a different set of initial conditions to generate the figure of 8 orbit.</p>

<p>The <code>deltaR</code> function computes the rate of change in position and velocity of the celestial bodies based on their current positions, velocities, and masses. It accounts for the gravitational forces between all bodies.</p>
<p>The <code>step</code> function performs a single RK4 integration step, updating the positions and velocities of the celestial bodies. It uses <code>deltaR</code> to compute the four increments (k1, k2, k3, and k4) and then updates the coordinates accordingly.</p>
<p>Next, the initial conditions for the figure-8 three-body problem are set. The masses (<code>M</code>), initial positions (<code>x</code>, <code>y</code>), and initial velocities (<code>vx</code>, <code>vy</code>) are provided. <code>Ei</code> calculates the initial total energy of the system.</p>
<p>The <code>linspace</code> function is defined to create a linearly spaced array of time points. <code>coords</code> is an array containing the positions and velocities for all bodies. The <code>time</code> array is created using <code>linspace</code>, and <code>deltaT</code> is set as the time step.</p>
<p><code>X</code>, <code>Y</code>, <code>VX</code>, and <code>VY</code> are 2D arrays that will store the positions and velocities of the celestial bodies over time. They are initialized with zeros and will be updated in the loop.</p>
<p>Finally, a loop iterates over each time step, updating the positions and velocities of the celestial bodies using the <code>step</code> function. The updated coordinates are stored in the <code>X</code>, <code>Y</code>, <code>VX</code>, and <code>VY</code> arrays.</p>
<h3>Animation?</h3>
<p>Now that we have time-series data, we need to animate it. We can use Plotly's animate function, as this does not force a full re-render, saving us some precious GPU and CPU cycles when we are trying to run this in the browser itself</p>
