Hi @Muhammad Zeeshan ,
After going through your comments, analysis of your code and documentation provided at the link below.
Since you have to purchase journal and not able to provide full details, this is how I would tackle the fourth-order partial differential equation (PDE) you have described, you need to set up a MATLAB script that incorporates the specified linear and nonlinear operators, boundary conditions, and initial conditions derived from the manuscript you provided. Your problem revolves around fluid dynamics, specifically a flow between parallel walls influenced by oscillatory motion. The behavior of the flow is affected by parameters such as amplitude (Δ) and Reynolds number (R), with chaotic behavior emerging under certain conditions. The PDE is significant as it models these dynamics and serves as a foundation for understanding complex flow phenomena. Below is an updated MATLAB code that defines the necessary parameters and implements a numerical method to solve the given PDE. The code uses finite difference methods or similar approaches for spatial discretization, and can be adjusted based on your specific needs for stability and accuracy.
% Parameters L = 10; % Length of the domain T = 20; % Total time duration Nx = 100; % Number of spatial points Nt = 2000; % Number of time steps dx = L/(Nx-1); % Spatial step size dt = T/Nt; % Time step size
% Physical parameters delta = 0.1; % Amplitude of oscillation Re = 100; % Reynolds number
% Define spatial grid x = linspace(0, L, Nx);
% Initial condition: H(t) H = @(t) 1 + delta * cos(2*t); dHdt = @(t) -2 * delta * sin(2*t); % Derivative of H with respect to t
% Initialize V field V = zeros(Nx, Nt); V(:, 1) = H(0); % Set initial condition at t=0
% Time-stepping loop for n = 1:Nt-1 t = n * dt;
% Compute V at next time step using explicit method (pseudo-code)
for i = 2:Nx-1
% Linear operator LV (eq. 2.5)
LV = (V(i+1,n) - 2*V(i,n) + V(i-1,n)) / dx^2; % Nonlinear operator NV (eq. 2.6)
NV = (1/H(t)) * (V(i,n) * V(i,n) * V(i,n) - V(i,n)^2); % Update V based on the PDE
V(i,n+1) = V(i,n) + dt * (LV + NV);
end % Apply boundary conditions
V(1,n+1) = H(t); % V(0,t) = H(t)
V(end,n+1) = 0; % V(L,t) = 0
end% Visualization of results

In the above script, parameters are initialized such as the length of the domain, total time duration, number of spatial points, and time. The initial condition for H(t) is set as specified in your context. A finite difference approach is utilized to approximate derivatives in space and time: The linear operator LV is calculated using central differences. The nonlinear operator NV is computed directly from the defined equation. Boundary conditions are applied after updating V at each time step. Finally, the results are visualized in a surface plot showing how velocity changes over time and space.
Make sure that your chosen time step dt and spatial resolution dx satisfy stability criteria for numerical methods employed. Depending on the specifics of your problem and computational resources, you may consider more sophisticated methods such as implicit schemes or spectral methods for better stability in solving higher-order PDEs. Conduct sensitivity analyses on delta and Re to explore different regimes of flow behavior, including stability and chaos.
This code at the moment provides a foundational framework to address the fluid dynamics problem you are investigating while adhering to the details outlined in the manuscript. Adjustments may be needed based on specific requirements or further insights from your research context.

Hi @Muhammad Zeeshan Khan ,
After going through your attached manuscript provided in your comments, I structured the code to solve a fourth-order PDE that describes the motion of a fluid between two parallel walls, which oscillate over time. The simulation is governed by the Navier-Stokes equations, which are fundamental in fluid dynamics as mentioned in the attached manuscript. Below, I will break down the code into its key components and explain how each part contributes to the overall simulation.
Initialization of Parameters
clc; clear; % Clear command window and workspace nu = 0.01; % Kinematic viscosity (cm^2/s) n = 1; % Frequency of wall oscillation b = 1; % Half-width of the channel R_values = [0, 5, 25]; % Reynolds numbers to evaluate Delta_values = [0.25, 0.45, 0.65]; % Oscillation amplitudes
In this section, physical parameters of the simulation are defined such as
- Kinematic viscosity (nu): This parameter influences the fluid's resistance to flow.
- Frequency (n): This represents how often the walls oscillate.
- Reynolds numbers (R_values): These values characterize the flow regime, indicating whether the flow is laminar or turbulent.
- Oscillation amplitudes (Delta_values): These values determine the extent of wall movement.
Time and Spatial Discretization
t_end = 100; % Total time for simulation dt = 0.01; % Time step N = 500; % Number of spatial points eta = linspace(-1, 1, N); % Spatial domain
Here, the simulation's temporal and spatial framework is setup.
- Total simulation time (t_end) and time step (dt): These define the duration and resolution of the simulation.
- Spatial points (N): This determines the granularity of the spatial domain, which is crucial for accurately capturing the fluid behavior.
- Spatial domain (eta): This array represents the vertical position between the walls, normalized between -1 and 1.
Results Storage Initialization
V_results = cell(length(R_values), length(Delta_values)); % Initialize variables for results storage
A cell array is created to store the results of the stream function V for different combinations of Reynolds numbers and oscillation amplitudes. This allows for organized data retrieval for plotting later.
Main Loop Over Reynolds Numbers and Amplitudes
for R_idx = 1:length(R_values)
R = R_values(R_idx);
for Delta_idx = 1:length(Delta_values)
Delta = Delta_values(Delta_idx);
This nested loop iterates through each combination of Reynolds numbers and oscillation amplitudes, setting the stage for the simulation of fluid motion under varying conditions.
Stream Function Initialization
V = zeros(N, round(t_end/dt)); % Initialize stream function V with boundary conditions
The stream function V is initialized to zero, with dimensions corresponding to the spatial points and time steps. This function is crucial for representing the flow field.
Time-Stepping Loop Using Crank-Nicolson Method
for m = 1:round(t_end/dt)-1 t = m * dt; H_t = 1 + Delta * cos(2 * n * t); % Wall position
The Crank-Nicolson method is employed for time-stepping, which is a numerical technique that provides stability and accuracy for solving PDEs. The wall position H_t is updated based on the oscillation amplitude and frequency.
Constructing the Linear Operator Matrix
L_matrix = construct_L_matrix(nu, H_t, eta, R, N);
The function construct_L_matrix is called to create the linear operator matrix, which incorporates the effects of viscosity, wall motion, and boundary conditions. This matrix is essential for solving the linear part of the PDE.
Updating the Stream Function
V(:, m+1) = L_matrix \ (V(:, m) + compute_N(V(:, m), eta, R));
The stream function is updated using the linear operator matrix and the computed nonlinear terms from the compute_N function. This step is critical as it integrates the effects of both linear and nonlinear dynamics in the fluid motion.
Progress Display
if mod(m, 100) == 0
fprintf('Computing R=%d, ∆=%.2f at t=%.2f\n', R, Delta, t);
end
To keep the user informed, the code prints progress updates after iterations, indicating the current Reynolds number, oscillation amplitude, and time.
Storing Results for Plotting
V_results{R_idx, Delta_idx} = V; % Store results for plotting
later
After completing the time-stepping for a specific combination of parameters, the results are stored for later visualization.
Plotting Results
for R_idx = 1:length(R_values)
for Delta_idx = 1:length(Delta_values)
V_plot = V_results{R_idx, Delta_idx};
[X, T] = meshgrid(eta, dt*(0:round(t_end/dt)-1));
subplot(length(R_values), length(Delta_values),
(R_idx-1)*length(Delta_values)+Delta_idx);
surf(X, T, V_plot', 'EdgeColor', 'none');
title(sprintf('R=%d, ∆=%.2f', R_values(R_idx),
Delta_values(Delta_idx)));
xlabel('η'); ylabel('Time'); zlabel('Stream Function V');
view(30, 30); % Adjust view angle for better visualization
end
end
Finally, the results are visualized in a 3D surface plot, where the x-axis represents the spatial domain, the y-axis represents time, and the z-axis represents the stream function. This visualization helps in understanding the flow dynamics under different conditions.
Supporting Functions
- construct_L_matrix: This function constructs the linear operator matrix, incorporating the effects of viscosity and wall motion while applying no-slip boundary conditions.
- compute_N: This function calculates the nonlinear terms in the Navier-Stokes equations, which are essential for capturing the fluid's behavior accurately.
Please see attached.
Through careful parameterization, discretization, and numerical methods, it meets your requirements for analyzing the effects of wall oscillation and Reynolds numbers on fluid dynamics. The structured approach, combined with clear visualization, allows for a comprehensive understanding of the fluid behavior in this scenario.
Hope this finally answers your question. Please feel free to customize code based on your requirements.
