A numerical examination of the one-dimensional dynamical Burgers' equation with small viscosity coefficient is presented. The problem is well-known as a mathematical model for describing shock waves and traffic flows in fluid dynamics. The main purpose of the article is to construct a convergent numerical scheme for approximate solving the mentioned problem with small viscosity coefficient. For this scope at first the semidiscretization technique by the time variable is used for the initial nonlinear equation which leads to a set of stationary Burger's equations. Then obtained equations are linearized using quasilinearization process and are solved numerically by means of finite difference schemes on the uniform mesh of Shishkn type. The error of the constructed procedure is decomposed in two components and is studied thoroughly. As a result the parameter, i.e. viscosity coefficient, uniform error estimates are obtained for the totally discrete method. In the last section the proposed method is applied for some test examples that illustrates its properties.
