hi

i am trying to solve a set of 7 coupled second order ode's in spherical coordinates. i went through the tutorials for solving ode's, but they are all in cartesian coordinates. how to solve them in spherical coordinates??

the seven equations are nothing but diffusion equations with source/sink terms . Each of the source terms is a function of the seven concentrations.

plz help

MATLAB's pdepe is best-suited for this standard
problem.
The treatment of spherical coordinates is possible
by setting m=2 in the formal problem description.
