405, Mathematics Research Center Building (ori. New Math. Bldg.)

In this lecture, we shall apply the Whitham modulation theory developed earlier for the KdV equation to description of dispersive shocks. Gurevich-Pitaevskii problem is formulated. Its solution is given for a dispersive shock formed due to decay of an initial step-like distribution.

Time:15:30 - 17:20, Wednesday, February 19 - May 14, 2008
