● Example of system modeling using Matlab: Lorenz Attractor
PT
Lorenz model is a system of 3 non-linear ordinary differential equations that relate the
properties of a two-dimensional fluid layer uniformly warmed from below and cooled from
above:

𝑥̇ = 𝜎(𝑦 − 𝑥)
𝑦̇ = 𝑥(𝜌 − 𝑧) − 𝑦
𝑧̇ = 𝑥𝑦 − 𝛽𝑧
N

Here, 𝑥 ∝ the rate of convection, 𝑦 ∝ the horizontal temperature variation, and 𝑧 ∝ the
vertical temperature variation. The parameters 𝜎, 𝜌, and 𝛽 are proportional to the Prandtl
number, Reyleigh number, and certain physical dimension of the layer itself respectively (all
are assumed to be positive).

Considering 𝜎 = 10, 𝛽 = 8/3, 𝜌 = 28, and the initial values of (𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧) = (1,1,1), the
following Matlab code simulate Lorenz model over a time window of 100 units.

sigma = 10;
beta = 8/3;

rho = 28;
% Inline function definition for Lorenz model
f = @(t,a) [-sigma*a(1) + sigma*a(2); rho*a(1) - a(2) - a(1)*a(3); -beta*a(3) + a(1)*a(2)];
% Solving ODE using Runge-Kutta 4th/5th order ODE solver
[t,a] = ode45(f,[0 100],[1 1 1]);
