why are my solutions the same as initial values?

Hi. I build a 1D time-dependent model (transport of diluted species).

using conservative form.
convection transport mechanism
D=0;
u=-k/x^m; (k is a constant)
R=0;
no flux

iniitlal distribution: 1/(x^4*sqrt(2*pi)*log(sigma))*exp(-0.5*((log(x)-log(r_m))/(log(sigma)))^2)
k=4.92*10^(-14)/3600
m=3
sigma=1.2
r_m=0.034

But when I solve it, the solutions at all time are the same as initial values.

I also solve this problem with matlab, the solutions should be in the same shape but different values.

I don't know what had happened. The mph file is too big to be uploaded.

Would you please help me? Thanks very much.

By the way, unit for all the parameters are as follows:

m [1]
k [um^4/h]
r [um]
