Hi, I have written some code which solve's the 2d wave equation (code is
below). It seems to work, however when the wave reaches the boundaries it
reflects off them and I would like to remove this effect. Does anyone know
of a method to do this?
Also, I would like to run it over a large area, but when I do the images
take a long time to render (I've tried saving them as .png files instead,
which is a bit faster) so if anyone has any suggestions how I can improve
this I'd appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
