I a trying to simulate orbital motion of Earth and Sun using RK4 method. For r^2,I got an eliptical orbit but the velocities don't change as it should be according to kepler i.e. max at perihelion and min at apehelion,instead it has periodical change. I am not sure where I have got it wrong. How do I update the change in velocity?
Also, I tried change it to cube inverse law, for r^3, the orbit should have been unstable but it traces elliptical path.
Here is my code,
% t in years and distance in AU
%e = 0.15 tmax=1 B=2
function inverse_law_elliptical(e,tmax,B)
c=[0;1/2;1/2;1];
a=[0 0 0 0;1/2 0 0 0;0 1/2 0 0;0 0 1 0];
w=[1/6 1/3 1/3 1/6];
Ms=2*10^30; %mass of sun
G=4*pi^2/Ms; %6.67e-11*(6.68459e-12)^(3)*(3600*24*365)^2;
h=0.001; % step size
a0=(1/(0.998))^(1/3); %semi major axis of earth
xs=a0*e; %co-ordinates of sun
ys=0;
x0=a0; %initial position of earth
y0=0;
r0=sqrt((x0-xs)^2+y0^2); %initial distance between sun and earth
vx=0; %initial velocities of earth
vy=2*pi*r0;
t(1)=0; %initalizing t
i=1; %initializing i
s(:,1)=[x0;y0;vx;vy];
r=@(t) sqrt((s(1)-xs)^2+s(2)^2);
F=@(t,s) [s(3);s(4);-G*Ms*s(1)/r(t)^(B+1);-G*Ms*s(2)/r(t)^(B+1)]; %function
%initializing RK4 method
while t(i)<tmax
k=zeros(length(s(:,1)),length(c));
for j=1:length(c)
k(:,j)=h*F(t(i)+c(j)*h,s(:,i)+k*a(j,:)');
end
s(:,i+1)=s(:,i)+k*w';
t(i+1)=t(i)+h;
i=i+1;
end
x1=s(1,:); %x and y of earth
y1=s(2,:);
t=length(s(1,:));
% %animation loop
for i=1:t
plot(xs,ys,'.y','Markersize',70)
hold on
plot(x1(1:i),y1(1:i),'k','LineWidth',2)
hold off
axis([-2 2 -2 2]);

You have to tell us which variable name represent the velocity, I can only see initial velocity
vx=0;
To change the velocity, you have to choose it as a vector or update in somewhete within the code.
Ask a specific question please!

vx=0 is the initial velocity and s(3) is the position of velocity of x which is stored in s array.
