Keywords:
Nonlinear diffusion, support dynamics, finite difference scheme
Summary:
Numerical experiments suggest interesting properties in the several fields of fluid dynamics, plasma physics and population dynamics. Among such properties, we may observe the interesting phenomena; that is, the repeated appearance and disappearance phenomena of the region penetrated by the fluid in the flow through a porous media with absorption. The model equation in two dimensional space is written in the form of the initial-boundary value problem for a nonlinear diffusion equation with the effect of absorption. In this paper we show some numerical examples and prove such phenomena.
