Hello everyone, I have spend whole day but still not figure out an inverse Laplace transform. Hope someone can help me. The question is in the attachment. I'm trying to extract u^2/4D^2 out the bracket to match the standard inverse table, but it seems difficult to deal with the square root. Thanks and appreciate.

  • Equation: C-bar/C0 = (1/p) exp[ux/(2D) - x(u^2/(4D^2) + p/D)^(1/2)], followed by the inverse transform C/C0 = (1/2) erfc((x-ut)/(2 sqrt(Dt))) + (1/2) exp(ux/D) erfc((x+ut)/(2 sqrt(Dt))), labelled (21a).

  • Table of inverse Laplace transform pairs, rows 5 to 14, with transforms g(p) in the left column and original functions f(t) in the right, involving exponentials, Erfc and He_n terms.

Thanks for the post! Sorry you aren't generating responses at the moment. Do you have any further information, come to any new conclusions or is it possible to reword the post?

I don't know how the author did the inverse transform. It seems numerical inversion is the only way I can use.
