Review text

The authors consider the following ultraparabolic equation \[ \partial_t u = \partial_x(u^\alpha \partial_x u) + \partial_x(u^\beta \partial_x\partial_t u), \] which arises in groundwater flow modeling. Here \(u\) denotes the saturation of groundwater flow and \(\alpha\), \(\beta\) are positive constants. This equation was proposed by \textit{S. M. Hassanizadeh} and \textit{W. G. Gray} [Water Resources Research 29, No. 10, 3389-3405 (1993)]. The authors deal with travelling wave solutions and in particular the behavior of such travelling waves near fronts \(u = 0\). Part of this analysis is then used in a formal asymptotic analysis of solutions with initial support in a half line.
