make sure you don’t fall into the trap of copying pointers in Python: import numpy as np a = np.zeros(2) print(“a = “, a) b = np.zeros(2) print(“b = “, b) b = a # this assignment is simply a pointer copy – b points to the same data pointed to by a a[0]=33.33 # …
How to Highlight Code in Keynote
First install a utility called highlight. It is available through macports and homebrew. sudo port install highlight Now that highlight is installed, you can “apply” it to a file and pipe it to the clipboard: highlight -O rtf MyCode.cpp | pbcopy Now go to Kenote and simply paste from clipboard (or command + v).

Unbounded Kinetic Energy in Forward-Euler Inviscid Flows
Observation When using a forward-Euler method for the time integration of the momentum equation for an inviscid-flow, it appears that the kinetic energy of the flow grows unbounded in time, regardless of the timestep size. Problem Statement Estimate the change in total kinetic energy when using forward-Euler to integrate the Euler momentum equations in a periodic box. Approach To …

Some Regex Notes
I happened to be dealing with a bunch of mallocs that look like this double* f = (double*)malloc(sizeof(double)*nx*ny*nz); double* g = (double*)malloc(sizeof(double)*nx); double* h = (double*)malloc(sizeof(double)*nx*nz); I wanted to convert all of those those to use new, i.e. double* f = new double[nx*ny*nz] Using regex made all this possible search for: \(double\*\)malloc\(sizeof\(double\)\*(.*)\) replace with: new …
