MHB Numerical solution of partial differential equation

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on numerically solving a system of partial differential equations with specific initial and boundary conditions for n=0,1,2. The equations involve coupled boundary conditions that present challenges for the solver. Suggestions for improving accuracy include exploring various numerical schemes, although specific methods are not detailed. A recommendation is made to consult the journal "Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations" for relevant resources and methodologies. Access to the journal online is also provided for further research.

I need to solve the following system of equations for n=0,1,2 subject to the given initial and boundary conditions. Is it possible to solve the system numerically. If yes, please give me some idea which scheme I should use for better accuracy and how should I proceed. The coupled boundary conditions are challenging for me. Please help.

\frac{\partial C_n}{\partial t}-\frac{\partial^2 C_n}{\partial r^2}-\frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial C_n}{\partial r}=\beta n\, f(r,t)C_{n-1}+n(n-1)C_{n-2}
\frac{\partial \zeta_n}{\partial t}-\frac{\partial^2\zeta_n}{\partial r^2}-\frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial \zeta_n}{\partial r}=\beta n \,g(r,t)\zeta_{n-1}+n(n-1)\zeta_{n-2}C_n(0,r)=1 \quad\mbox{for}\quad n=0
=0 \quad\mbox{for}\quad n>0\zeta_n(0,r)=1 \quad\mbox{for}\quad n=0
\quad\quad\quad=0 \quad\mbox{for}\quad n>0\frac{\partial C_n}{\partial r}+\gamma C_n=0 \quad\mbox{at}\quad r=a
\frac{\partial C_n}{\partial r}=\kappa \frac{\partial \zeta_n}{\partial r} \quad\mbox{at}\quad r=b
C_n=\lambda\zeta_n \quad\mbox{at}\quad r=b
\frac{\partial \zeta_n}{\partial r}=0 \quad\mbox{at}\quad r=0

You should check out the journal on Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations. It comes out in monthly in volumes that are the size of a 300 page textbook. I have volume 29 number 6 Nov 2013 and that may not be much of a help to you but there is bound to be a volume of interest.

You can also view the journal online at wilyonlielibrary.com/journal/num
