Solving System of 2 ODEs: Analytical Solution

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding an analytical solution for a system of two ordinary differential equations (ODEs) involving functions x(r) and y(r). The equations are presented as x(dy/dr) - (y^2/r) = constant1*r^2*x^3 and x(dy/dr) + (xy/r) = constant2*r^2*x^2*(r*constant3 - y). Participants suggest treating x as a constant if dx/dr is not present and equating the right sides of the equations to derive y as a function of both x and r. The boundary conditions specified are x = constant4 at r = constant5 and y = 0 at r = constant5.

hallo I ams earching analytical solution for system of two ODE in next form

x*(dy/dr) - (y*y/r) = constant1*r*r*x*x*x
x*(dy/dr)+(x*y/r)=constant2*r*r*x*x*(r*constant3-y)

where x(r) and y(r). conditions are x=constant4 at r=constant5 and y=0 at r=constant5

thnx

r.

(r^2x^3 is simpler than r*r*x*x*x)

Do both equations have "dy/dr"? If neither equation involves dx/dr, you can treat x as a constant. In fact, if we write the two equations as x(dy/dr)= y^2/r+ C1r^2x^3 and x(dy/dr)= -xy/r+ C2r^2x^2(C3- y) and, because the two left sides are equal, equate the two right sides: y^2/r+ C1r^2x^3= -xy/r+ C2r^2x^2(C3- y). You can solve that for y as a function of both x and r and then put that back into the equation to get a single equation for y.
 
hallo like this:
x*(dy/dr) - (y*y/r) = constant1*r*r*x*x*x
x*(dx/dr)+(x*y/r)=constant2*r*r*x*x*(r*constant3-y)

where x(r) and y(r). conditions are x=constant4 at r=constant5 and y=0 at r=constant5
