# Model Equations ## Burger's Equation $$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + u \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = \nu \frac{\partial ^2 u}{\partial x^2} $$ The inviscid version of the equation is $$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + u \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = 0$$ The linear version of the Burger's Equation is often called the Convection–Diffusion equation $$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + u_0 \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = \alpha \frac{\partial ^2 u}{\partial x^2} $$ ### Numerical Schemes ### Application ## Diffusion Equation $$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} = \alpha \frac{\partial ^2 u}{\partial x^2} $$ The diffusjon equation is parabolic. ### Numerical Schemes ### Application The diffusion equation is applied when a quantity $u$ is being distributed throughout a space or body with out moving the initial source of the quantity. #### Heat Conduction $$\frac{\partial T}{\partial t} = \alpha \frac{\partial ^2 T}{\partial x^2} $$ where $T$ is the temperature, and $alpha$ is the heat conduction constant. #### Flow in porous media

## Poisson Equation $$\frac{\partial ^2 u}{\partial x^2} + \frac{\partial ^2 u}{\partial y^2} = f(x, y)$$ Setting $f(x, y) = 0 $ will give the Laplace equation. ### Numerical Schemes ### Application ## Wave Equation $$\frac{\partial ^2 u}{\partial t^2} = \alpha_0 ^2 \frac{\partial ^2 u}{\partial x^2}$$ The linear version of the eqaution is $$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + \alpha_0 \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = 0$$ ### Numerical Schemes ### Application
