Mathematical

List of Matlab Demos
This
page contains a summary list of the Matlab demos available for this
course. The list is organized roughly by topic and by the order
that the files are discussed in the Lecture Notes. Some of these
files will be discussed in detail in class, but all of them are
discussed to some extent in the notes. They hopefully can serve
as a guide for many of the Matlab assignments given throughout the
semester. Careful study of these sample files should introduce you
to a variety of Matlab programming features and also give you a
solid understanding of the various mathematical problem-solving
strategies and techniques discussed over the course of the semester.
You can view a particular Matlab file or download it by simply clicking
the right mouse button
on the link over the file name. From here you can either choose
"open in new window" to view the file online or "save
target as" to download the file directly to your PC (note that
these commands might differ slightly depending on your choice of
web browser). In any case, once the file is on your machine, you
can run it just like any other Matlab script file (make sure you
do not inadvertently change any file names).

procedure based on the Shooting Method for 2nd order BVPs. In
its present form, it is restricted to problems with linear
BCs. |

method (Example 10.1 in Class Notes). |

(Example 11.1 in Class Notes). This is HT Example #2 which
is solved using several techniques -- here we use the explicit
Euler method. |

(Example 11.2 in Class Notes). This is HT Example #2 which
is solved using several techniques -- here we use the implicit
Crank-Nicolson method. |

(Example 11.3 in Class Notes). This is HT Example #2 which

part and use ode23 to solve the
system of 1st order ODEs. |
|
Heat
Transfer in a 1-D Finite Bar using the State-Space FD method
(Example 11.4 in Class Notes). This is HT Example #3 which has
a time-dependent BC on the right side. This was solved earlier
using the Eigenfunction Expansion Method (similar to SOV method),
but here we FD the spatial part and use ode23
to solve the resulting system of 1st order ODEs. |

solve a parabolic PDE in 1-D within FEMLAB. The zip file contains
a *.fl file which can be opened in FEMLAB and a *.m file with
an example of some simple post-processing of the FEMLAB results
in Matlab. |

has a time-dependent BC on the right side. This is another

Heat Conduction in a 2-D Rectangular Block using FEMLAB. This
was solved previously using the SOV method in Example 10.5 and
the FD method in Example 11.5. The zip file given here contains
a *.mat file that was saved during the FEMLAB (ver 2.3a) run,
so the exact setup within FEMLAB can be reproduced. Some post-processing
is also done in Matlab with the *.m file (see comments within
the file) contained within the zip archive. |
Note:
The Matlab demos listed here are related directly to the examples
in the Math Methods Lecture Notes. Some of the Matlab files associated
with the examples done in class are also available under the Additional
Resources link. In addition, several other of my courses also
have a series of Matlab related demos that may be of interest to
the student studying this material. These files can be found at
the following URL: www.profjrwhite.com/courses.htm.
