Abstract: This article addresses some asymptotic and numerical issues related to the solution of Burgers' equation, $-epsilon{u}_{xx}+u_t+u{u}_x=0$ on $(-1,1)$, subject to the boundary conditions $u(-1)=1+delta$, $u(1)=-1$, and its generalization to two dimensions, $-epsilonDeltau+u_t+u{u}_x+u{u}_y=0$ 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 $delta=O_s({me}^{-a/epsilon})$ 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.
