Ali,
if you use
NDSolve[{0.04*u[z, t] == -3*(D[u[z, t], z])^(1/3) +
0.02*z*D[u[z, t], z] -
D[u[z, t], t], Derivative[1, 0][u][1, t] == 0, u[z, 0] == 0},
u, {z, 1, 2},
{t, 0, 1}, MaxSteps -> 10^4, AccuracyGoal -> 8];
you get the following message:
The differential order of the functions in the initial or boundary \
conditions should be strictly less than in the differential equations.
This means that for the present eqn the boundary condition must
not contain a derivative.
