Homework Statement
There is a fluid flowing over a hot plate. We non-dimensionalized the problem from three partial diff eq's to two ode's. I am modeling I have two coupled differential equations that are a system of initial value problems. I am supposed to numerically integrate the two equations to come up with values... I'm then told to simplify this to a larger system of first order ode's. I'm not sure how to do this...
Homework Equations
I'm given F''' +1/2(F*F'')=0 and G''+Pr/2(F*G')=0 where Pr is the prandle number. F(0)=0 F'(0)=0 F'(infinity)=1 G(0)=1 G(infinity)=0
The Attempt at a Solution
I know I'm supposed to guess F'' and G' to get F' and G' to be what I want them to asymptote to. I just am not sure how to get to a place where I can use something like Runge-Kutta 4th order method...
My attempt was U1=F1 U2=F' U1'=U2=F' U2'=U3=F'' U2''=F''' U2''+1/2(U1*U2')=0
then
V1=U1 V2=U2' V2'=U2'' and V2'+1/2(V1*V2)=0
But I don't know if this is right...
Any help is appreciated thanks,
Matt
