MATLAB: SpecifyCoefficients for a specific PDE

differential equationsMATLABpdepdetoolbox

Hello,

I am trying to use the PDE toolbox to solve a PDE on a cylinder. I can define the geometry and boundary conditions fine, but I'm having trouble with defining the PDE itself. I want to specify the following PDE:

f is a function of r and z that I have defined. Is there a way I can specifically define this PDE? I don't see a way I can get it from the PDE specified in solvepde or solvepdeeig.

Since the problem is 1D, you can use the pdepe function.

One should be able to specify boundary conditions on all external boundaries of any geometry.

 For example, look at the “A scattering problem” example in the documentation. It has a Neumann condition at the outer boundary and a Dirichlet condition at the inner boundary (that is formed by the square sub-region).

Boundary conditions on internal boundaries such as boundaries across which material properties or governing equations might change are not required by Finite Element method.
