Is there a way to model schrödinger's wave equations in blender? I have the task to model the orbitals of an atom in blender for an animation. I know the orbitals of electron around an atom can be gotten from Schrödinger's wave equations. How would I be able to model that in blender?
I can try to explain a bit more about what is going on. (I am as lost as you are) The Schrödinger wave equation is a linear partial differential equation. The Schrödinger equation for the hydrogen atom (or a hydrogen-like atom) is
${\displaystyle E\psi =-{\frac {\hbar ^{2}}{2\mu }}\nabla ^{2}\psi -{\frac {q^{2}}{4\pi \varepsilon _{0}r}}\psi }$
The Schrödinger for a hydrogen atom can be solved by separation of variables. Spherical polar coordinates are most convenient according to Wikipedia.
${\displaystyle \psi (r,\theta ,\varphi )=R(r)Y_{\ell }^{m}(\theta ,\varphi )=R(r)\Theta (\theta )\Phi (\varphi )}$
please read more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger_equation#Three-dimensional_examples under hydrogen atom. Also to add when modeled in blender they should look a lot like https://ecampusontario.pressbooks.pub/app/uploads/sites/25/2016/05/CNX_Chem_06_03_Oshapes.jpg
I was able to find a tool that did everything for you. The tool is here: https://github.com/Niuskir/Electron-Orbitals-Blender-3D
