problem number 93

From Mathematica symbolic PDE document.

viscous fluid flow with no initial conditions

Solve for \(u(x,t)\) \[ u_t+ u u_x = \mu u_{xx} \]

Mathematica

ClearAll["Global`*"]; 
pde =  D[u[x, t], {t}] + u[x, t]*D[u[x, t], {x}] == \[Mu]*D[u[x, t], {x, 2}]; 
sol =  AbsoluteTiming[TimeConstrained[DSolve[pde, u[x, t], {x, t}], 60*10]];
 

\[\left \{\left \{u(x,t)\to -2 c_1 \mu \tanh (c_2 t+c_1 x+c_3)-\frac {c_2}{c_1}\right \}\right \}\]

Maple

pde := diff(u(x, t), t) + u(x, t)*diff(u(x, t), x) = mu* diff(u(x,t),x$2); 
cpu_time := timelimit(60*10,CodeTools[Usage](assign('sol',pdsolve(pde, u(x, t))),output='realtime'));
 

\[u \left (x , t\right ) = \frac {-2 c_{2}^{2} \mu \tanh \left (c_{3} t +c_{2} x +c_{1}\right )-c_{3}}{c_{2}}\]
