Vicsek Model Simulations
In this project, I simulated active matter confined to an enclosed space using the Vicsek model in MATLAB. Building on the primer made by Prof. Tsuyoshi Hirashima of the Kyoto University, I modelled elastic collisions using simple momentum and kinetic energy conservation, and implemented particle trajectory visualization using plot function. I also added data collection and organization features for exporting simulation data to excel for third-party analysis.
Interesting flocking of particles was observed at various external noise levels. —Observations to be updated—
