Hi,
There is nothing to be panicked about the complex values of V.
Just use Chop to get rid of the complex tail which is nothing but a artifact
generated during numerical computation.
You can see it yourself
Plot[Evaluate[V[t]/.sol//Chop]*1000,{t,0,9},PlotRange->All]
Grid[Table[{t,v[t]//Chop},{t,0,9,1}]]
And also to see the residual error of the solution generated by NDSolve
evaluate the following
Er=(V'[t]==A Sqrt[2 (Po (V0/V[t])^gamma-Pa)/rho])/.a_==b_-> (a-b)^2/.V[t]->
v[t]/.V'[t]-> v'[t];
Grid[Table[{t,Er//Chop},{t,0,9,1}]]
Now you will realize that there is nothing wrong with the solution.
Regards,
Pratip
