 In the pressure driven flow a fluid viscosity between two stationary

In the pressure driven flow a fluid viscosity between two stationary plates separated by a distance d and driven by a pressure drop P/x, the governing equations of the velocity u of the fluid (assuming flow in the x-direction with the velocity varying only in the y-direction) are: dy2d2u=xP with boundary conditions u(y=0)=0 and u(y=d)=0, i.e., no slip at the edges of the plate. Let the plate separation d=0.1, viscosity = 1 , and the pressure difference Px=100. (a) analytical solution. (b) Use matlab to get shooting method with h=0.01 (c) Use matlab to get the finite-difference with h=0.01. Plot curves from each solution method on same graph. Compare the numerical derived solutions to the analytical solution in terms of error in increments of 0.01 . Discuss the accuracy of each numerical method and suggest ways to improve the accuracy of the numerical solutions
