1 The flow of cars is modelled by the PDE Traffic flow problems u t + [uvu)] x = 1. If vu) = 1 u and x < a) ux, ) = u x 2 x 1 u x > 1 b) ux, ) = u e x, where < u < 1, determine when and where a shock first forms. Sketch a characteristics diagram and the solution up to the development of the shock. Use the equal areas rule to make sketches of the progress of the shock after it forms for each case. 2. Solve the PDE again for vu) = 1 u and ux, ) = u + Hπ x )a sin x with a < u, a + u < 1 and Hx) the step function. Show that when a > a single shock forms and if a <, two shocks form simultaneously, at time t = 1/2 a ) in both cases). Where do these shocks form? By fitting shocks to the multi-valued functions in each case, show that, for t 1, the maximum value of u is approximately u + π a and u + 2t t for a > and a <, respectively. Helpful comments: We have x = x 1 2u)t. For a >, u + + u = 2u and so Ẋ = 1 2u, giving Xt) = 1 2u )t. For large t, the maximum value of u also occurs at the right side of the shock, and points there came from close to x = π. Hence π 1 2u )t 1 2u)t. For a < and t 1, the maximum value of u comes from x and x < Now consider vu) = 1 u) 2. Show that cu) in u t + cu x = vanishes for u = 1 3 and has a minimum at u = 2 3. If ux, ) = u L + u R e x/l 1 + e x/l with < u R < 1 3 and 2 3 < u L < 1. Sketch the initial condition and the development of the solution for t >. How does the solution differ from the solution with v = 1 u? By consider the limit L, show that the car density changes discontinuously from u L to u L at a shock which propagates at speed c1 1 2 u L). Some helpful results: The characteristics solution implies u = fx ) and x = x tcu) if ux, ) = fx) denotes the initial condition. For v = 1 u) 2, we have cu) = d du [u1 u)2 ] = 1 u)1 3u) When L, fx) u L + u R u L )Hx), and the solution for u that bridges between u L and u R all originates from near x =. Thus, cu) = x/t or u = 2 3 ± x t. The shock speed is dx/dt = [u + 1 u + ) 2 u 1 u ) 2 ]/u + u ) = 1 + u + + u ) 2 u + u 2u + + u ). 1

If x = cos θ, then cos 3θ = 4x 3 3x = 8 5 P 3x) 3 5 P 1x), using a trig relation and given that P 1 x) = x and P 3 x) is an odd polynomial of degree 3 with normalization P n 1) = 1 so setting P 3 = Ax A)x and plugging into Legendre s equation gives A = 5 2 ). The boundary condition is independent of φ and so u = Rr)Y x). The usual separation of variables procedure implies that Rr) is given by r n 1 and Y x) by P n x) where n =, 1,... discarding the other solutions which are irregular for r and x = ±1). Hence u = n= c nr n 1 P n x) = 8 5 r 4 P 3 x) 3 5 r 2 P 1 x), given the boundary condition at r = 1. 2**. Fourier transforming the PDE and initial conditions implies û tt = k 4 û, ûk, ) = 1 and û t k, ) =. Hence ûk, t) = cos k 2 t.

Using the handy changes of variable κ = tk ± x 2t ) and the trig relations again, one obtains the desired answer given integrals provided. 3*.

Applying the method of characteristics gives the implicit solution u = tanh x = tanhx + ut). Hence sech 2 x u x = 1 t sech 2. x This first diverges for t = 1 at x = x =. Returning to the integral form of the conservation law, one finds that a shock located at x = Xt) travels with speed dx dt = 1 2 u+ + u ) where u ± denote the values of u to either side of the shock. Since ux, t) is odd, u = u + and so the shock is stationary. 4**. The characteristic equations are dx dt = u 1 & du dt = e t. Hence, u = fx ) + 1 e t and x = x + tfx ) + e t 1, if ux, ) = fx) denotes the initial condition. That is, u = 2 e t for x = x t e t + 1 <, u = 1 e t for x = x e t + 1 > 1 and u = 1 x t + te t 1 t for x 1 or t + e t 1 x e t. The central region shrinks to the point x = e 1 at t = 1, implying where and when the shock forms. 9
