Lie group analysis of two-dimensional variable-coefficient Burgers equation
The modern group analysis of differential equations is used to study a class of two-dimensional variable coefficient Burgers equations. In particular, the complete group classification, differential invariants and conservation laws are presented. Through obtaining equivalence transformations, the authors are able to simplify the results of classification and to construct the basis of differential invariants and operators of invariant differentiation. Using equivalence transformations, reductions with respect to Lie symmetry operators and certain non-Lie ansätze, they construct exact analytical solutions for specific forms of arbitrary elements by reducing the initial equation to a system of differential equations. The authors also classify the local conservation laws obtained.
