invert the direction of a particles in matlab
Without your information, I am going to guess how I'd do it:
part_location=rand(10,2); % 10 particles
part_direction=rand(10,2); % non-normalized direction so it has also speed
boundaries=[0,0;1 1]; % square boundary from 0 to 1; not going to use it so I dont write your whole code.
for ii=1:nsteps_simulation
% update particle position using direction
% do it
part_location= ... ?
% check if particles are inside the boundary
inside=sum(part_location>0 && part_location<1,2)==2;
outside=~inside;
% now you know which particles are inside and wich outside.
% Inverting the direction should be easy
part_direction=...?
end
Apologise if the code is not complete, but nobody is going to write it for you! However, I hope that I have given you a clear structure of how you should design an algorithm for this. Of course, depending on your data/application you'd need to modify the structure a bit, but this is probably the most you'll get without more information or show us what you tried!
