Abstract: This article addresses some asymptotic and numerical issues related to the solution of Burgers' equation, epsilonuxx+ut+uux=0 on (1,1), subject to the boundary conditions u(1)=1+delta, u(1)=1, and its generalization to two dimensions, epsilonDeltau+ut+uux+uuy=0 on (1,1)imes(pi,pi), subject to the boundary conditions u|x=1=1+delta, u|x=1=1, with 2pi periodicity in y. The perturbation parameters delta and epsilon are arbitrarily small positive and independent; when they approach 0, they satisfy the asymptotic order relation delta=Os(mea/epsilon) for some constant ain(0,1). The solutions of these convection-dominated viscous conservation laws exhibit a transition layer in the interior of the domain, whose position as toinfty is supersensitive to the boundary perturbation. Algorithms are presented for the computation of the position of the transition layer at steady state. The algorithms generalize to viscous conservation laws with a convex nonlinearity and are scalable in a parallel computing environment.
