A simple package for Ray transfer matrix named sust_phy_abcd. The ray transfer matrix (also known as ABCD matrix) is used in the geometrical optics for ray tracing analysis. A 2×2 ray transfer matrix can estimate the behaviour of the ray after an optical element (surface, interface, mirror, lens, graded index surface etc.). we built a full python package of the ray transfer matrix for all types of ABCD matrix.

Undergraduate Project (1 Credit)
Advection is the transport of a substance or quantity by bulk motion of a fluid in the fields of physics, engineering, and earth sciences. The advection equation is used to understand the transport of substances in our atmosphere. It is used in climate models to understand future climate situations. The advection equation is a first order PDE, but it can also be classified as hyperbolic since its solutions satisfy the wave equation. In this paper, we solved the advection equation with Upwind, Downwind, and Forward Time Centered Space (FTCS) schemes. Also, we will verify which method is good in terms of various parameters.

To transport a satellite from Earth to Saturn, there are many obstacles in the way. To use better fuel efficiency better pathways must be measured. In this paper, we have used theoretical data and as well as computer programs to evaluate how the planets will affect the satellite. Computer simulation can give us a better measure of the gravitational field effects. We can use this approach to get an approximate value of the fuel consumption, the time needed to reach Saturn, and thrusting scheduling during the trip.
