Numerical method for the calculation of traveling wave solutions of a quench front problem

Journal Article · · J. Comput. Phys.; (United States)
A numerical method is described for the solution of the following quench front problem: Find u(x,y) and v such that partial/partialxk(u)partialu/partialx+vq(u)partialu/partialx+partial/partialyk(u)/ partialu/partialy = 0, partialu/partialyVertical Bar/sub y/ = 0 = f(u), partialu/partialyVertical Bar/sub y/ = 1 = 0, u(-infinity,y) = 0, u(+infinity,y) = 1. The method is based on the idea of isotherm migration. The resulting problem is an eigenvalue problem for a system of nonlinear Cauchy-Riemann equations. The method is very efficient in comparison with previous methods for this problem.
