Multiple pde example / pipe model

This example considers the thermal behavior (simulation) of plug flow of an incompressible fluid through a pipe, which can be described with the normed variables/parameters:

  • x_1(z,t) ~ fluid temperature
  • x_2(z,t) ~ pipe wall temperature
  • x_3(z,t)=0 ~ ambient temperature
  • u(t) ~ system input
  • H(t) ~ heaviside step function
  • v ~ fluid velocity
  • c_1 ~ heat transfer coefficient (fluid - wall)
  • c_2 ~ heat transfer coefficient (wall - ambient)

by the following equations:

\begin{align*}
    \dot{x}_1(z,t) + v x_1'(z,t) &= c_1(x_2(z,t) - x_1(z,t)), && z\in (0,l] \\
    \dot{x}_2(z,t) &= c_1(x_1(z,t) - x_2(z,t)) + c_2(x_3(z,t) - x_2(z,t)), && z\in [0,l] \\
    x_1(z,0) &= 0 \\
    x_2(z,0) &= 0 \\
    x_1(0,t) &= u(t) = 2 H(t)
\end{align*}
