Help with numerical methods assignment on Integration Using Matlab

The numerical methods assignment helper was tasked with integrating the equation:
∂ρ∂t=M∇2μ{{\frac{\partial_{\rho}}{\partial_t}} ={M{\nabla}^2{\mu}}}

Assistance with numerical methods homework on Using the Euler scheme.

In this equation, ρ(r→,t){{\rho}(\overrightarrow{r},t)} – is the density field, μ(r,t){{\mu}(r,t)} – is the chemical potential, and the Laplace operator for 2D case rewrites in the following way:
∇2f=∂2f∂x2+∂2f∂y2{{\nabla^2f}={\frac{\partial^2f}{\partial{x^2}}+{\frac{\partial^2f}{\partial{y^2}}}}}
To find this differentiation, the numerical method homework helper used a second-order central difference scheme in the way:
∇2f(i,j)=f(i+1j)−2f(ij)=f(i−1j)h+f(ij+1)−2f(ij)+f(ij−1)h2{{\nabla^2f(i,j)}={\frac{f(i+1j)-2f(ij)=f(i-1j)}{h}+{\frac{f(ij+1)-2f(ij)+f(ij-1)}{h^2}}}}
For μ(r){\mu(r)} the next relation was used:
μ=RT(1+1nln(ρ1−bρ)+bρ1−bρ)−2aρ−k∇2ρ{{\mu}={RT(1+1nln({\frac{\rho}{1-b\rho}})+{\frac{b\rho}{1-b\rho})}-2a\rho-k\nabla^2\rho}}
Where for calculation ∇2ρ{\nabla^2\rho} the scheme (3) was used.

So, for the Euler scheme we have:
ρ(i,j,t+dt)=ρ(i,j,t)+dt∇2μ{{\rho(i,j,t+dt)}={\rho(i,j,t)+dt\nabla^2\mu}}

Online numerical methods tutors getting the finite-differences

In the finite-difference scheme, the online numerical methods tutor used the periodic boundary conditions and the next values for constants and parameters:
Δt=0.01,Δx=Δy=1.0,Lx=80,M=10,a=229,b=221,R=1,Tc=8a27bR,T=0.7Tc,k=0.025{\Delta t = 0.01, \Delta x = \Delta y=1.0, L_x=80, M=10, a=\frac{2}{29}, b=\frac{2}{21}, R=1, T_c=\frac{8a}{27bR}, T=0.7T_c, k=0.025}

For the level curve superimposed to a contour plot of the concentration field and to a vector plot of the gradient of the density field and for the values ρmin(t),ρ(t){\rho_{min}(t), \rho(t)} and Helmholtz energy
F=∫(ρRT(1+1nln(ρ1−bρ))−aρ2−k2∣∇ρ∣2)dV{F=\smallint(\rho RT(1+1nln({\frac{\rho}{1-b\rho }))-a\rho^2-\frac{k}{2}|\nabla \rho|^2)dV}}

We got the next results (contour plots presented only for some values of t)

Also, in this project, we calculated the radial distribution function of the Fourier transform Ω(qx,qy)=F(p(x,y)){\Omega(q_x,q_y)=F(p(x,y))} of the density field as:
f(∣q∣)=Ω(q)Ωtot{f(|q|)= \frac{\Omega(q)}{\Omega_{tot}}}

And beneath some results at different times are presented.

These results gave us the possibility to calculate the average size of drops as:
Rav=Lx∫f(q)dq∫qf(q)dq{R^{av}= \frac{L_x \smallint f(q)dq}{\smallint qf(q)dq}}

In the final part of the project we repeated the above calculations for some different initial densities, these results gave us the possibility to compare the average size as a function of time for initial densities in the following way:

ρ=2.6−2.8{\rho= 2.6-2.8}

Average Radius

ρ=3.6−3.8{\rho= 3.6-3.8}

Average Radius1

ρ=4.6−4.8{\rho= 4.6-4.8}
