I have been working on the problem of electrified fluid flow down a channel with a moving pressure distribution. I have derived an equation which describes the free surface of said fluid flow which is a Benjamin-Ono like equation. I have a numerical solution for this equation and it gives the sort of pictures that I expect.
I can ignore the nonlinear part of the equation and I can an equation which I can solve analytically via Fourier transforms. Here is what is winding me up: When I set the nonlinear term to zero in my numerical code and compare it to my analytical solution, they should match but they don't, it's almost a factor of 10 out.
Has anyone come across this sort of thing happening before? Is it something I've done wrong?
Any suggestions are always welcome.
