Poisson equation with three boundary conditions

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion focuses on solving a 2D Poisson equation defined on a triangular region with three specific boundary conditions. The equation is given by ∂²u/∂x² + ∂²u/∂y² = C, with boundary conditions including ∂u/∂y = 0 at y=0, u=0 at y=ax+b, and c∂u/∂x + d∂u/∂y = 0 at y=ex+f. The participants explore the feasibility of using separation of variables as a method for obtaining an analytical solution to this problem.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of partial differential equations (PDEs)

I have the following 2D Poisson equation (which can also be transformed

to Laplace) defined on a triangular region (refer to plot):

\begin{equation}

\frac{\partial^{2}u}{\partial x^{2}}+\frac{\partial^{2}u}{\partial y^{2}}=C\end{equation}

with the following three boundary conditions:

\begin{equation}

\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}=0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\mathrm{at}\, y=0\end{equation}

\begin{equation}

u=0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\mathrm{at}\, y=ax+b\end{equation}

\begin{equation}

c\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+d\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}=0\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\mathrm{at}\, y=ex+f\end{equation}

where C,a,b,c,d,e,f are constants.

What is the easiest way to solve this problem (preferably analytically)?
