enter image description hereI am trying to analyse the energy behaviour of n coupled harmonic oscillators where the initial displacements are distributed/defined by sine wave equation at various values of time. My total energy plot seems to appx. double from n= 4 to 8 to 16 and so on. Can someone please explain me the behaviour. thanks.

  • So, the more moving stuff, the more energy? That is logical no? Unless we are missing information that you have not given, this makes sense – Ander Biguri Mar 07 '18 at 09:18
  • thanks, i was still editing. My question is why we do not see this increase in energy when the initial displacement of first particle is 1 and others at rest to start with. In such a case the energy is always constant at 1 for any numbe rof particles from n= 4 onwards – wannabegeek Mar 07 '18 at 09:30
