Abstract:

Burgers' equation is numerically analyzed by finite analytic method. The basic idea of finite analytic method is to incorporate the analytic solution of partial differential equation in a given finite element in obtaining the discrete algebraic representation of the differential equation. In this paper, a finite analytic explicit numerical scheme is obtained based on the analytic characteristic solution for viscous Burgers' equation. The scheme is employed to solve several unsteady and steady fluid flow problems.
