I need a help for the following code to locate the error since the numerical solution is not approximate the exact one. The heat equation have 0 boundary conditions
clear all;
clc;
L = 2; % Length of the wire
T =1; % Final time
% Parameters needed to solve the equation within the explicit method
maxk = 210; % Number of time steps
dt = T/maxk;
n = 10; % Number of space steps
dx = L/n;
a = 1;
r= a*dt/(dx*dx); % b should be less than 0.5
% Initial temperature of the wire: a sinus.
for i = 1:n+1
x(i) =(i-1)*dx;
u(i,1) =sin((pi/2)*x(i));
end
% boundary
for t=1:maxk+1
time(t) = (t-1)*dt;
u(1,t) = 0;
u(n+1,t) = 0;
end
% Implementation of the explicit method
for t=1:maxk % Time Loop
for i=2:n; % Space Loop
u(i,t+1) =u(i,t) + r*(u(i-1,t)+u(i+1,t)-2.*u(i,t)) + dt*(x(i)-time(t));
end
end
%Exact= @(x, t) exp(-(pi^2/4)*t) .* sin((pi/2) * x);
%f = Exact(x, t);
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%55
% Parameters
LL = 2; % Length of the domain (0 to 2)
xx = linspace(0, LL, 100); % Discretize the x domain (0 to 2)
t_values = [0, 0.05, 0.1]; % Time values to plot
% Define the function u(x,t)
u_exact = @(xx, tt) exp(-pi^2/4 * tt) .* sin(pi/2 * xx);
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% Graphical representation of the temperature at different selected times
figure(1)
plot(x,u(:,1),'-',x,u(:,10),'-',x,u(:,45),'-',x,u(:,30),'-',x,u(:,60),'-')
title('numerical')
xlabel('X')
ylabel('T')
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%5
figure(2);
hold on;
for tt = t_values
uu = u_exact(xx, tt);
plot(xx, uu, 'DisplayName', ['t = ', num2str(tt)]);
end
% Labels and legend
xlabel('x');
ylabel('u(x,t)');

grid on;
hold of

u(i,t+1) =u(i,t) + r*(u(i-1,t)+u(i+1,t)-2.*u(i,t)) + dt*(x(i)-time(t));
You obviously don't solve du/dt = a*d^2u/dx^2 because of the term dt*(x(i)-time(t)).
So you cannot expect that numerical and analytical solutions agree.

You already asked this question at least once. You got answers.

If you plot the exact solution at the correct times, namely
t_values = [0, 9*dt, 29*dt,44*dt,59*dt]; % Time values to plot
you will see that exact and numerical solution agree.
