How do I solve a second order non linear differential equation using matlab.

46 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have a fluid dynamics problem and I need to derive an equation for motion.
After applying Newtons second law to the system, and replaceing all the constants with A and B. My equation looks like this.
z'' + A(z')^2 = B
With A and B both being constants.
Initial conditions being that z(0)=0, and z'(0)=0
And I need to solve for z(t).
Thank you

"... I need to find the equation for all time ..."
Are you looking for an analytical/symbolic solution? I thought that you simply wanted a numerical solution given your initial starting values.

syms z(t) t A B
zp = diff(z,t);
zpp = diff(z,t,2);
eqn = ( zpp + A*zp^2 == B );
cond = [z(0)==0, zp(0)==0];
zSol = dsolve(eqn,cond,'IgnoreAnalyticConstraints',true);
zSol = unique(simplify(zSol));
This gives 3 solutions:
zSol =
log((C15*sinh(A^(1/2)*B^(1/2)*(t + A*B^(1/2)*1i)))/B^(1/2))/A
log(-(C18*sinh(A^(3/2)*B*1i - A^(1/2)*B^(1/2)*t))/B^(1/2))/A
log(cosh(A^(1/2)*B^(1/2)*t))/A
The first two look weird, but are valid solutions involving complex-valued z. The 3rd solution is real, and that's probably the one that you are looking for.

Hello, I am having troubles solving a system of second order nonlinear equations with boundary conditions using MATALB
Here is the equations:
f''(t)=3*f(t)*g(t) -g(t)+5*t;
g''(t)=-4f(t)*g(t)+f(t)-7*t;
the boundary conditions are: f'(0)=0 et h'(o)=5;
g(0)=3 et h'(2)=h(2)

Define a 2-element vector y:
y(1) = z
y(2) = z'
then solve your 2nd order ODE for the highest derivative:
z'' + A(z')^2 = B ==>
z'' = - A(z')^2 + B
then calculate the y element derivative equations, using this z derivative info:
d y(1) = d z = z' = y(2)
d y(2) = d z' = z'' = -A(z')^2 + B = -A*y(2) + B
So create a derivative function based on those two equations, using the function signature that you will find in the ode45 doc. Then call it using the outline provided in the example in the doc.
EDIT: SYMBOLIC SOLUTION
>> dsolve('D2z + A*(Dz)^2 = B')
ans =
C29 + (B^(1/2)*t)/A^(1/2)
C27 - (B^(1/2)*t)/A^(1/2)
log((exp(2*A^(3/2)*B^(1/2)*(C24 + t/A)) - 1)/(2*B^(1/2)*exp(A*(C16 + A^(1/2)*B^(1/2)*(C24 + t/A)))))/A
log((exp(2*A^(3/2)*B^(1/2)*(C20 - t/A)) - 1)/(2*B^(1/2)*exp(A*(C16 + A^(1/2)*B^(1/2)*(C20 - t/A)))))/A

According to MATHEMATICA, the analytical solution is
z(x) = log(cosh(sqrt(A*B)*x))/A
Best wishes
