# Solve a set of coupled heat ode/ conditional initial conditions?

GROUPS:
 Hi Everyone,I'm trying to solve the following set of coupled heat equation (for kinetic modeling)dC1/dt = -(Fp)(L)/Vp*(dC1/dx) - PSg/Vp(C1/Wp-C2) + Dp*(dC1/dx2);dC2/dt = PSg/Visfp(C1/Wp-C2) + Disf*(dC2/dx2);My boundary conditions are:C1(t,x)|x=0 = Cin(t)C2(t,x)|x=0 = 0Cin(t) is a function of a known form e.g. Cin(t)= exp(-t);dC1(t,x)/dx|x=0 = 0dC2(t,x)/dx|x=0 = 0dC1(t,x)/dx|x=L = 0dC2(t,x)/dx|x=L = 0The initial conditions are:C1(t,x)|t=0 = 0C2(t,x)|t=0 = 0I prepared the following code to solve it numerically in Mathematica: Fp = 0.016666667; Vp = 0.07; Wp = 0.94; Dp = 0.1; PSg = 0.05; Visfp = 0.35; Disf = 0.1; L = 0.1; sol = NDSolve[{Derivative[1, 0][C1][t, x] == -Fp*L/Vp*Derivative[0, 1][C1][t, x] - PSg/Vp*(C1[t, x]/Wp - C2[t, x]) + Dp*Derivative[0, 2][C1][t, x], Derivative[1, 0][C2][t, x] == PSg/Visfp*(C1[t, x]/Wp - C2[t, x]) + Disf*Derivative[0, 2][C2][t, x], C1[t, 0] == Exp[-t], C2[t, 0] == 0, C1[t, L] == 0, C2[t, L] == 0, Derivative[0, 1][C1][t, 0] == 0, Derivative[0, 1][C2][t, 0] == 0, Derivative[0, 1][C1][t, L] == 0, Derivative[0, 1][C2][t, L] == 0, C1[0, x] == 0, C2[0, x] == 0}, {C1, C2}, {t, 0, 20}, {x, 0, 0.1}] I found that the code works ok but I need a specific initial conditions: when (t=t.min) { C1 = if (x=x.min) 1 else 0 C2 = 0; how can I conditionally set C1[0, x] == 1 but only for x=0? (I cover range of x=0:0.1). I've tried to add (C1[0, x] /. x -> 0) == 1 but this results in an error NDSolve::bcedge: Boundary condition C1[0,0]==0 is not specified on a single edge of the boundary of the computational domain. Thank you for any suggestions
