MATLAB/Simulink Simulation of the Chaotic Water Wheel

For my final project in a Chaos and Nonlinear Dynamics independent study, I created a MATLAB visualization of the chaotic water wheel. This system, governed by the Lorenz equations, mimics the behavior of a physical water wheel where buckets fill and empty, leading to unpredictable dynamics. By adjusting parameters such as water flow and friction, the wheel exhibits a range of behaviors, from steady rotation to erratic, chaotic motion.
