The wave equation in a snowflake domain.
The wave equation ∂t2u=Δu on the Koch snowflake domain produces vibrations of a fractal drum. This program solves the wave equation numerically on a triangulated approximation of the snowflake and renders the time evolution as a vibrating three-dimensional surface. The fractal boundary produces wave patterns with six-fold symmetry and intricate interference near the indentations of the snowflake.
