The types of initial and boundary conditions which may be involved in the flow of water through an unsaturated profile to a water table are discussed. A numerical solution of the flow equation is then outlined and its use in the one-dimensional drainage of a homogeneous profile and in ponded infiltration into a draining profile detailed. Several characteristics of the drainage of deep profiles are discussed together with numerical solutions for the drainage of a stratified profile and infiltration into a draining profile.

AbstractInitial-boundary value problems for the one-dimensional linear advection–dispersion equation with decay (LAD) are studied by utilizing a unified method, known as the Fokas method. The method takes advantage of the spectral analysis of both parts of Lax pair and the global algebraic relation coupling all initial and boundary values. We present the explicit analytical solution of the LAD equation posed on the half line and a finite interval with general initial and boundary conditions. In addition, for the case of periodic boundary conditions, we show that the solution of the LAD equation is asymptotically t-periodic for large t if the Dirichlet boundary datum is periodic in t. Furthermore, it can be shown that if the Dirichlet boundary value is asymptotically periodic for large t, then so is the unknown Neumann boundary value, which is uniquely characterized in terms of the given asymptotically periodic Dirichlet boundary datum. The analytical predictions for large t are compared with numerical results showing the excellent agreement.

We consider the one-dimensional Burgers equation perturbed by a white noise term with Dirichlet boundary conditions and a non-Lipschitz coefficient. We obtain existence of a weak solution proving tightness for a sequence of polygonal approximations for the equation and solving a martingale problem for the weak limit.

In this article we consider a critical thermodynamic system with the shape of a thin film confined between two parallel planes. It is assumed that the state of the system at a given temperature and external ordering field is described by order-parameter profiles, which minimize the one-dimensional counterpart of the standard ϕ4 Ginzburg–Landau Hamiltonian and meet the so-called Neumann – Neumann boundary conditions. We give analytic representation of the extremals of this variational problem in terms ofWeierstrass elliptic functions. Then, depending on the temperature and ordering field we determine the minimizers and obtain the phase diagram in the temperature-field plane.

Abstract The process of diffusion-limited cell dehydration is modeled for a planar system by writing the one-dimensional diffusion-equation for a cell with moving, semipermeable boundaries. For the simplifying case of isothermal dehydration with constant diffusivity, an approximate analytical solution is obtained by linearizing the governing partial differential equations. The general problem must be solved numerically. The Forward Time Center Space (FTCS) and Crank-Nicholson differencing schemes are implemented, and evaluated by comparison with the analytical solution. Putative stability criteria for the two algorithms are proposed based on numerical experiments, and the Crank-Nicholson method is shown to be accurate for a mesh with as few as six nodes.
