[R] solving pde with given boundary condition (heat equation)
Dear R-helpers, I have 3 thermometers measuring soil temperature at 3 levels every 10 minutes. I want to determine the soil diffusivity, by solving the heat equation. The heat equation is a partial differential equation. In my case, the initial values are know and the boundary conditions are given by 2 time series: Tz1 and Tz3. These are measured temperatures at 2 levels. I tried deSolve and bvpSolve, but apparently they do not provide a numerical solution for this kind of boundary conditions (dirichlet boundary condition?). Help would be appreciated, since my calculus was selectively forgotten some 10 years ago.... All the best, J -- José Miguel Delgado Lisboa Portugal [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
