Solving a system of coupled non-linear partial differential equations


I am trying to solve a system of coupled non-linear partial differential equations, 2D spatially + time. The equations are:


enter image description here


where c, d, and p are constants. I am solving for the functions Az and Bz in polar coordinates, r -> x and theta -> y, and time, t (I am using x and y to visually simplify the code). To do so, I am using NDSolve. The equations in code form are:


azExt[x_, y_, t_] = -bo*(1 - E^(-t*2*Pi/(w*T)))*a*x*Sin[2*Pi*t - y];

eqns =
{c*D[az[x, y, t], t] == Laplacian[az[x, y, t], {x, y}, "Polar"] - 1/x*d*p*(D[az[x, y, t], x]*D[bz[x, y, t], y] - D[az[x, y, t], y]*D[bz[x, y,t],x] ),
c*D[bz[x, y, t], t] == Laplacian[bz[x, y, t], {x, y}, "Polar"] - 1/x*1/d*p(D[az[x, y, t], y]*D[Laplacian[az[x, y, t], {x, y}, "Polar"], x]-D[az[x, y, t], x]*D[Laplacian[az[x, y, t], {x, y}, "Polar"], y] ),
(*Initial Conditions*)
az[x, y, 0] == 0,
bz[x, y, 0] == 1,
(*Boundary Conditions*)
bz[x, Pi, t] == bz[x, -Pi, t],
az[x, Pi, t] == az[x, -Pi, t],
bz[1, y, t] == 1,

az[$MachineEpsilon, y, t] == 0,
(D[bz[x, y, t], x] /. x -> x0) == 0,
(D[az[x, y, t], x] /. x -> 1) == 2*azExt[1,y,t]/(bo*a) - az[1,y,t]};

Where the constants are defined as:


bo = 0.05; w = 5*10^6; T = 10^-5;
a = 0.05; t0 = 5/312;
c = 312;(*312*)d = 1.3;
p = 250; x0 = 10^-5;


I have left the third boundary condition for x open for Mathematica to find as the authors from whom I have taken the equations from did not clearly specify what it might be.


My current problem is that the solution becomes very stiff. To solve, I have tried using both Explicit Euler and Method of Lines and have played around with options such as MaxStepFraction, AccuracyGoal,PrecisionGoal, Max- and MinPoints. With the ExplicitEuler method, I get an overflow error and the solutions tends to explode. I will use the method of lines in the code below as it seems to be the go to method for many pde problems I've seen on the site. The code for NDSolve is:


sol = NDSolve[eqns, {az[x, y, t], bz[x, y, t]}, {x, $MachineEpsilon, 
5}, {y, -Pi, Pi}, {t, 0, 5}, "ExtrapolationHandler" -> {Indeterminate &,"WarningMessage" -> False}, Method -> {"MethodOfLines", "TemporalVariable" -> t, "SpatialDiscretization" -> {"TensorProductGrid"}}]

Depending on what method and options I'm messing around with but for this particular case, the error I get is:


NDSolve::mxsst: Using maximum number of grid points 100 allowed by the MaxPoints or MinStepSize options for independent variable y.
NDSolve::bcart: Warning: an insufficient number of boundary conditions have been specified for the direction of independent variable x. Artificial boundary effects may be present in the solution.
NDSolve::ndcf: Repeated convergence test failure at t == 1.2163884257297997`*^-14; unable to continue.
NDSolve::eerr: Warning: scaled local spatial error estimate of 253.1320098824361` at t = 1.2163884257297997`*^-14 in the direction of independent variable y is much greater than the prescribed error tolerance. Grid spacing with 101 points may be too large to achieve the desired accuracy or precision. A singularity may have formed or a smaller grid spacing can be specified using the MaxStepSize or MinPoints method options.


And the solution is solved up to 1.22 * 10^-14.


Increasing the maxpoints tends to lead to excessively long computation that lead to nothing. Decreasing my accuracy and precision goals does allow me to calculate solutions further in time but usually not past ~2.5. I would like to be able to calculate up to t = 100 but I understand that that might not be possible.


I am pretty new to using Mathematica and even more green to solving systems of PDE's. I'm not sure if this system is too complicated for Mathematica or if I'm just going at it the wrong way. I've browsed similar questions with no luck. Any help with solving it would be appreciated! If you need more information or think I missed something, please let me know.

Make a replacement t->t/c, r->x, define constants T, w. Boundary conditions and error messages appear. But the solution of the system of equations converges, which is surprising.


azExt[x_, y_, t_] = -bo*(1 - E^(-t*2*Pi/(w*T)))*a*x*Sin[2*Pi*t - y];
eqns = {c*D[az[x, y, t], t] ==
Laplacian[az[x, y, t], {x, y}, "Polar"] -
1/x*d*p*(D[az[x, y, t], x]*D[bz[x, y, t], y] -

D[az[x, y, t], y]*D[bz[r, y, t], x]),
c*D[bz[x, y, t], t] ==
Laplacian[bz[x, y, t], {x, y}, "Polar"] -
1/x*1/d*p (D[az[x, y, t], y]*
D[Laplacian[az[x, y, t], {x, y}, "Polar"], x] -
D[az[x, y, t], x]*
D[Laplacian[az[x, y, t], {x, y}, "Polar"],
y]),(*Initial Conditions*)az[x, y, 0] == 0,
bz[x, y, 0] == 1,(*Boundary Conditions*)
bz[x, Pi, t] == bz[x, -Pi, t], az[x, Pi, t] == az[x, -Pi, t],

bz[1, y, t] == 1,
az[1, y, t] == 0, (D[az[x, y, t], x] /. x -> 1) ==
2*azExt[1, y, t]/(bo*a) - az[1, y, t]};

bo = 0.05; w = 1; T = .001;
a = 0.05; t0 = 5/312;
c = 1;(*312*)
d = 1.3;
p = 250; x0 = 10^-5;



sol = NDSolve[eqns, {az, bz}, {x, x0, 1}, {y, -Pi, Pi}, {t, 0, t0},
Method -> {"MethodOfLines",
"SpatialDiscretization" -> {"TensorProductGrid",
"MinPoints" -> 77, "MaxPoints" -> 77, "DifferenceOrder" -> 2}}]

{{ContourPlot[Evaluate[az[x, 0, t] /. sol], {x, x0, 1}, {t, 0, t0},
Contours -> 20, ColorFunction -> Hue, PlotLegends -> Automatic,
PlotRange -> All, FrameLabel -> {"x", "t"}, PlotLabel -> "Az"],
ContourPlot[Evaluate[bz[x, 0, t] /. sol], {x, x0, 1}, {t, 0, t0},

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...

Is there a way to do conditional matrix loop using 'continue'

I have the following: n = 3; m = 5; ww = RandomReal[{0, 0.1}, {n, n}]; uu = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {m, n}]; pp = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {n, n}]; ss = RandomInteger[{0, 5}, {m, n}]; Grid[{{"ww", "uu", "pp", "ss"}, {ww // TableForm, uu // TableForm, pp // TableForm, ss // TableForm}}, Spacings -> {5, 2}, Dividers -> All] where I would like to look at every element of matrix ss and produce a matrix tt , with zeroes at the locations in ss which have zeroes, and in all other positions do the following: tt = (-1/Subscript[ww, m]) Log[(1 - uu)/(Subscript[pp, m - 1])], where Subscript[ww, m] is the value at index of ww matrix and where Subscript[pp, m - 1] is the value at index-1 of pp matrix. So for example if the first value ever read from matrix ss happens to be 2, then value taken from matrix ww would be from the row 2, but from pp would be from row 1. Also how to tell difference between a 0 as a valid value from within the matrix elemen...
