Hi All,

It looks like COMSOL can not handle third order differential equation in Coefficient Form to solve Eigenvalue problem.

I would like to implement this equation:

d^3/dx^3

Any help will be appreciated.

Sanjay,

To calculate the higher derivatives, you may define them as a new variable and solve them coupled to the other physics in your model.

To understand how to do this, see the following example by Marc Fernandez Silva:

Hope that they resolve this issue in the newer versions.

Thanks Admin,

I think, I figure it out, how to implement third order derivative as follows:

In coefficient form, there is a term \Delta. (....+\gamma)

\Delta can be \partial_x and \gamma can be uxx (second derivative of u w.r.t. x). This gives "third derivative of u w.r.t. x.

Thanks for sending your paper and I will be reading your paper very carefully.

Thanks
Sanjay
