Second of two projects for the PHYS6017 Computer Techniques in Physics module of my MPhys programme. The project consists of using an RK45 method to simulate the behaviour of a simple pendulum constrained to a 2D plane, under driving and damping forces, allowing for the study of the evolution of a non-linear chaotic system by varying initial conditions. The simulations were done in Python 3 using the matplotlib, scipy and numpy libraries. The report was produced using Overleaf.
