Infiltration in porous media with dynamic capillary pressure: travelling waves
Infiltration in porous media with dynamic capillary pressure: travelling waves
We consider a model for non-static groundwater flow where the saturation-pressure relation is extended by a dynamic term. This approach, together with a convective term due to gravity, results in a pseudo-parabolic Burgers type equation. We give a rigorous study of global travelling-wave solutions, with emphasis on the role played …
