Coupled PDEs with Initial Solution from Data in COMSOL 4

چکیده
Many physical applications require the solution of a system of coupled partial differential equations (PDEs). In most cases the analytic PDE solution does not exist for this system and we need to solve the problem numerically using the finite element method in COMSOL. This paper presents information on techniques needed in COMSOL 4 to enable computational studies of coupled systems of PDEs for time-dependent nonlinear problems. Furthermore, we demonstrate how to use data files as input for initial conditions. To illustrate the techniques, we consider a system of two time-dependent non-linear PDEs from mathematical biology.

متن کاملFinite Element Convergence for Time-Dependent PDEs with a Point Source in COMSOL 4.2
The FEM theory provides the basis for quantification on the accuracy and reliability of a numerical solution by the a priori error estimates on the FEM error vs. the mesh spacing of the FEM mesh. This paper presents information on the techniques needed in COMSOL 4.2 to enable computational studies that demonstrate this theory for time-dependent problems, in extension of previous work on station...
متن کاملSimulating Organogenesis in COMSOL Multiphysics®: Image-Based Modeling
Organogenesis is a highly dynamic process that is tightly regulated during embryogenesis. Many of the individual regulatory components, such as signaling molecules and their receptors, as well as their regulatory interactions have been identified in experiments. However, an integrative mechanistic understanding of the regulatory network is missing [1]. In a series of papers on simulating organo...
متن کاملUsing Chebyshev polynomial’s zeros as point grid for numerical solution of nonlinear PDEs by differential quadrature- based radial basis functions
Radial Basis Functions (RBFs) have been found to be widely successful for the interpolation of scattered data over the last several decades. The numerical solution of nonlinear Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) plays a prominent role in numerical weather forecasting, and many other areas of physics, engineering, and biology. In this paper, Differential Quadrature (DQ) method- based RBFs are...
متن کاملEfficient solution of nonlinear, underdetermined inverse problems with a generalized PDE model
Several parameter estimation problems (or ‘‘inverse’’ problems) such as those that occur in hydrology and geophysics are solved using partial differential equation (PDE)-based models of the physical system in question. Likewise, these problems are usually underdetermined due to the lack of enough data to constrain a unique solution. In this paper, we present a framework for the solution of unde...
