I am trying to solve a wave equation (2nd order PDE) in z and t with absorbing boundary conditions, i.e. a boundary condition that relates the partial z and t derivatives. For this particular example, I believe the answer should be zero everywhere, but I'm interested ultimately in other, non-trivial, cases.
Here's my attempt:
NDSolveValue[{
D[V[z, t], {z, 2}] == D[V[z, t], {t, 2}],
DirichletCondition[V[z, t] == 0, t == 0],
Derivative[0, 1][V][z, t] == NeumannValue[0, t == 0],
Derivative[1, 0][V][0, t] == Derivative[0, 1][V][0, t],
Derivative[1, 0][V][1, t] == -Derivative[0, 1][V][1, t]
},
V,
{t, 0, 1}, {z, 0, 1}
]
which yields the error:
NDSolveValue::overdet: There are fewer dependent variables, {V[z,t]}, than equations, so the system is overdetermined.
I would appreciate suggestions for better ways to resolve this problem, or in general to approach the problem. (I realize the problem is solvable analytically--I'm trying it this way as a step along the way to a harder problem that will not be solvable analytically.)
The application here is modeling an electrical transmission line, and I've tried a few approaches so far, but haven't come across one that works.
I am using Mathematica 11.3.
Vbe a function ofzandtand then you writeD[V[z, t], {x, 2}]? would not this be zero? – Nasser Apr 13 '19 at 10:21D[V[z, t], {z, 2}] == D[V[z, t], {z, 2}]yields True, Usually I would expect the pde at this place. Usually theNeumannValueis part of the main pde and the DirichletCondition is separated. For me it would be easier to help if you provide the complete pde problem. – Ulrich Neumann Apr 13 '19 at 14:21
