How to solve a non-linear system of differential equations?

16 views (last 30 days)
Hello I´m trying to solve this system of differential equations, but I don´t know how. I´ve tried with dsolve, but Matlab dont find an analytical solution, So I try with ODEs functions, but I dont know how to convert my symbolic system to a system that Ode45 can solve. I try with matlabfunction but I dont know use it fine.

syms wp(t) wt(t) ws(t) Q(t);

eqn1 = Ip*diff(wp,t) == - p*Q(t)*(wp(t)*Rp^2 + Rp*Q(t)/A*tan(ap) - ws(t)*Rs^2 - Rs*Q(t)/A*tan(as)) + Tp;
eqn2 = It*diff(wt,t) == - p*Q(t)*(wt(t)*Rt^2 + Rt*Q(t)/A*tan(at) - wp(t)*Rp^2 - Rp*Q(t)/A*tan(ap)) + Tt;
eqn3 = Is*diff(wt,t) == - p*Q(t)*(ws(t)*Rs^2 + Rs*Q(t)/A*tan(as) - wt(t)*Rt^2 - Rt*Q(t)/A*tan(at)) + Ts;
eqn4 = p*(Sp*diff(wp,t) + St*diff(wt,t) + Ss*diff(ws,t)) + p*Lf/A*diff(Q,t) == p*(Rp^2*wp(t)^2 + Rt^2*wt(t)^2 + Rs^2*ws(t)^2 - Rs^2*wp(t)*ws(t) - Rp^2*wt(t)*wp(t) - Rt^2*ws(t)*wt(t)) + wp(t)*Q(t)/A*p*(Rp*tan(ap) - Rs*tan(as)) + wt(t)*Q(t)/A*p*(Rt*tan(at) - Rp*tan(ap)) + ws(t)*Q(t)/A*p*(Rs*tan(as) - Rt*tan(at)) - PL*p;

Your equations are linear in the derivatives, so you can form your equations as a matrix equation, then write a derivative function that uses backslash at each step to find the individual derivatives. E.g., let
y = [ ; , , Q]
and thus
A * = b
Where = 4x1 vector [ ; ; ; ]
b = 4x1 right hand side vector (nonlinear functions of , , , Q, and constants)
A = 4x4 coefficients of elements in your equations
function ydot = myderivative(t,y, ... other constants ...)
A = (form the 4x4 matrix elements here)
b = (form the right hand side 4x1 vector elements here)
ydot = A\b;
end
Then use this function in your call to the integrator (e.g., ode45):
ode45(@(t,y)myderivative(t,y, ... other constants ...),tspan,initial_conditions)

Well, the equations/coefficients have to be typed in manually in either case. If they are already typed in one form then yes equationsToMatrix( ) could help. But in fact it looks like there already are mistakes in eqn1, eqn2, and eqn3 above because I don't see any term.

Thank you, It's works. I fixed eqns 1,2 and 3 and use equationsToMatrix to create A and B.

Hi Pacao,
The missing step is a call to odeToVectorField before the call to matlabFunction. Check that first doc page and then feel free to post back if it's still not working for you.
