Four Derivations Of Schrödinger’S Time Dependent Equation, Sydney Swanson Dec 2018

Four Derivations Of Schrödinger’S Time Dependent Equation, Sydney Swanson

Essential Studies UNDergraduate Showcase

Physics and the natural world have been studied by humans since the first person wondered ‘Why?’ The Schrödinger equation is important because it attempts to describe a relatively new (to us) and unfamiliar part of our universe, behavior of subatomic particles, and helps modern scientists uncover secrets that have proven useful in technology and explaining our origins. The time dependent Schrödinger equation can be derived from various starting points in Classical such as the equation of a wave, the time independent Schrödinger equation, and Hamilton-Jacobi equations. Why Quantum mechanics exists, useful applications, and cases when it fails or is inaccurate …


Mathematical Modelling Of English Coulee: Tanks In Series, Matthew Picklo May 2018

Mathematical Modelling Of English Coulee: Tanks In Series, Matthew Picklo

Essential Studies UNDergraduate Showcase

In the scope of the College of Arts and Science project: “Coulee Cleanway: Modelling and Analysis of the English Coulee Physiochemical Environment, UND Campus, Grand Forks”, a mathematical model attempting to describe the transportation of dissolved species within the English Coulee was developed based on “Tanks in Series”. By dividing the channel into discrete regions, a governing system of equations derived from conservation of mass equations and well-mixed assumptions is used to describe the spatial and temporal changes in concentration. The resulting system of differential equations was solved by a Runge-Kutta 4 numerical method, which allowed for the addition of …
