Modeling and Solving the
Wave Equation
The wave equation is a fundamental equation
in physics and engineering that describes
wave phenomena. This presentation will
explore the derivation, types, and solutions
of the wave equation, along with its
applications in various fields.

The Essence of the Wave Equation
Universal Description
The wave equation represents a wide range
of wave phenomena, including sound, light,
and water waves.
Mathematical Representation
It's expressed as ∂²u/∂t² = c² (∂²u/∂x²),
where *u* is displacement, *t* is time, *x*
is position, and *c* is wave speed.

Deriving the Wave Equation:
Physical Insights
1 Consider a vibrating string with tension *T* and linear density
*ρ*.
2 Apply Newton's Second Law to a small segment of the string.
3 Assumptions include small displacements, constant
tension, and uniform density.
4 The resulting wave equation is ρ(∂²u/∂t²) =
T(∂²u/∂x²),
where c = √(T/ρ).

Types of Wave Equations:
Dimensions Matter
1D Wave Equation
∂²u/∂t² = c² (∂²u/∂x²)
(string
vibration)
2D Wave Equation
∂²u/∂t² = c² (∂²u/∂x² +
∂²u/∂y²)
(drumhead vibration)
3D Wave Equation
∂²u/∂t² = c² (∂²u/∂x² + ∂²u/∂y² + ∂²u/∂z²) (sound
propagation)

Analytical Solutions:
d'Alembert's Formula
The general
solution is u(x,t)
= F(x - ct) + G(x
+ ct), representing
right and left
traveling waves.
F and G are
determined by
initial conditions:
u(x,0) = f(x) and
∂u/∂t(x,0) = g(x).
d'Alembert's
solution shows
wave propagation
without distortion.

Boundary Conditions: Defining the Boundaries
Dirichlet
u(0,t) = u(L,t) = 0 (fixed

Numerical Methods: Finite
Difference Method (FDM)
1 Discretize space and time: xᵢ = iΔx, t ₙ =
nΔt.
2 Approximate derivatives using finite differences.
3 Update equation: uᵢⁿ⁺¹ = 2uᵢⁿ -
uᵢⁿ⁻¹ + (cΔt/Δx)²(uᵢ₊₁ⁿ - 2uᵢⁿ +
uᵢ₋₁ⁿ).
