    Non-linear Pde Request

SUMMARY

The discussion centers on solving the non-linear partial differential equation (PDE) given by Uzz - (A/U)Uz = Ut, with boundary conditions U(z,0)=B, U(1,t)=B, and Uz(0,t)=A*H(t). Participants agree that analytical solutions for most non-linear PDEs are generally unknown, and numerical methods are typically employed for practical applications. The original equation has been simplified, and the Heat Integral method was attempted but yielded insufficient accuracy. The consensus suggests that numerical software is the most viable approach for solving this PDE.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of non-linear partial differential equations (PDEs)
  • Familiarity with boundary and initial conditions in PDEs
  • Knowledge of numerical methods for solving PDEs
  • Experience with the Heat Integral method for approximating solutions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research numerical software options for solving non-linear PDEs, such as MATLAB or Mathematica
  • Explore advanced numerical methods, including finite difference and finite element methods
  • Study the application of the Heat Integral method in greater detail to improve accuracy
  • Investigate other analytical techniques for non-linear PDEs, such as perturbation methods
USEFUL FOR

Mathematicians, physicists, and engineers involved in solving non-linear PDEs, as well as researchers seeking to understand numerical methods for practical applications in physics and industry.

Dear Friends,
Would you please provide me with some hints to find the analytical solution of the non-linear PDE given below:
U=U(z,t)

Uzz-(A/U)*Uz=Ut

BC's and IC's are:
U(z,0)=B
U(1,t)=B
Uz(0,t)=A*H(t); "H" is the heaviside function and H(0)=0

where A, B, and C are constant.


Many Thanks,

Hi !

Since there is no answer yet to the question, I dare give my opinion on the subject.
The analytical solutions of most of the non-linear PDE are not known. The solutions of only a few of them can be formally expressed (generally in case of school problems). In practice, numerical methods are used to treat the problems involving PDE in physics or industry.
I think that the mohammad449's non-linear PDE should be treated with a numerical software.
Nevertheless, I hope that someone will give a more theoretical answer.
 
Thanks so much Dear JJacquelin!

Actually, the original equation has been simplified to the given form. I have the numerical results of the original complicated equation.
Currently, I am trying to find an analytical solution to match the numerical one. I tried the Heat Integral method (to get an approximation) but the resulting solution was not accurate enough, it just works in some specific conditions.
