Usage of 'dsolve' function in MATLAB

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
I am trying to solve a 1D transient (unsteady state) partial differential equation of the form, du/dt = c (d2u/dy2). Here 'd' is actually partial differential because velocity (u) varies with time (t) and spacial coordinate (x) as well. c is a constant.
Initial condition
u(t=0) = 0
Boundary condition for the problem:
u(y=0,t) = - 0.001
u(y=80,t) = 0.001
Is it possible to use 'dsolve' function to get a solution to this transient problem ?
Also I need to plot the velocity (u) with distance (y) and check how the solution evolves over time.

"dsolve" can be used for ordinary differential equations (1 independent variable).
Your equation is a partial differential equation (2 independent variables, namely t and y).
You will have to use a numerical solver to get a solution (e.g. "pdepe").
Best wishes
