Spiral Chain Models

The basic model in this project (scm3Elm.py) solves the following equation for E_n:

∂_t E_n = (g^2m - g^2l)t^E_n+l + (1 - g^2m)t^E_n + (g^2l - 1)t^E_n-m+l

where:

t^E_n = g^-lk_nsin[(m-l)α]E_n^3/2

with the two dimensional wavenumber defined as a complex number using k_n = k0 (g e^iα)ⁿ

in general different values of l and m are possible as described in [https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.09494]. And the case that combines l=2,m=3 and l=1, m=5 and considering four such spiral chains (which has the best angular coverage) is included as fcm6E.py

Finally the model for the case l=1,m=3 for the complex amplitude Φ_n is also given as scm3_13.py
