Need help to create this equation

1 view (last 30 days)
Hi everyone, I am a little bit confused about this
Could someone helping me to create this? It seems that to many partial derivatives, since I am not good at it.
*you can assume the parameter by yourself or let them be in coefficient
Hope someone could help me to understand clearly how to perform this equation. Thankyou very much!

syms rho_eff_hcp
syms p_w(x,t)
syms w(p_w_)
syms w_r(t)
dw_dp_w = diff(w(p_w_),p_w_)
dw_dp_w = 
dp_w_dt = diff(p_w(x,t),t);
LHS = 1/rho_eff_hcp * dw_dp_w * dp_w_dt;
dp_w_dx = diff(p_w(x,t),x)
dp_w_dx = 
syms K
RHS_temp1 = K*w(p_w_)*dp_w_dx
RHS_temp1 = 
RHS_temp2 = diff(RHS_temp1,x)
RHS_temp2 = 
dw_r_dt = diff(w_r(t),t);
RHS = -RHS_temp2 + dw_r_dt;
eqn = LHS == RHS
eqn = 
Now you are faced with the problem that w should be a function of p_w instead of p_w_ but p_w is a function. You are trying to take the derivative of a function with respect to a function, which requires Calculus of Variations instead of regular calculas.
You also have three functions but only one equation. There is no hope that you would be able to resolve this symbolically, even if the equations were ODE instead of PDE.

I'm pretty sure that all of my coefficient such as dh/dw and Dh are correct.However, I just confuse my calculation and maybe my boundary condition was wrong.

No, it doesn't look right. When you write your C-N function you will get to a stage where you have to multiply the RHS with the inverse of the LHS-matrix. You have neither an inv nor a \ in your C-N section. Take a pen and paper, sit down and write out the expressions for the LSH and RHS matrices and then implement those expressions. You will get a step looking something lke this:
I_next = invMLHS*([Mrhs]*I_prev + Q_t_p_half);
