Hi everybody, I have a quite challenging question about numerical equation solving with MATHEMATICA: f1 - f2 + ((f2 - f1) t)/t1 = (r1^2 rho vt^2)/(2 \[Pi] r2^4) (3/2 + l/(2 r2) k/((2 rho vt)/(\[Pi] r2 eta))^(1/4)) The equation given above is implicit when solving to variable vt. The variable vt itself is a differential operator (D[v,t]), so vt must be replaced with D[v,t]. As I am interested in v the solution has to be integrated with respect to t (i.e. Integrate[D[v,t],t,{0,t1}] or Integrate [D[v,t],t,{0,t1}]). Finally, I want to visualize in a contour plot the values of f1 and t1 for which the integrated equation fulfills a certain number q. All variables are positive real numbers. To maybe better explain my problem I have summarized all steps in one MATHEMATICA command (I know that the syntax is not correct): ContourPlot[q = NIntegrate[D[v, t]/.Solve[f1-f2 + ((f2 - f1) t)/t1 == (r1^2 rho D[v, t]^2)/(2 \[Pi] r2^4) (3/2 + l/(2 r2) k/((2 rho D[v, t])/(\[Pi] r2 eta))^(1/4)), D[v, t]],t, {0, t1}], {t1, 0.1, a}, {f1, 0, b}] How can I solve solve this problem with MATHEMATICA? Thanks in advance for your support! Mr.Mason
