Consider the mass density , u(x,t), in the region [0,2]. where source is R(x) =x−1. The flux rule is φ(x) = (u−1)2 and the initial condition is u(x,0) =x.
(1) what is the continuity equation and at what point is density not changing ,ut= 0.
(2) is the total mass (U=∫udx) changing?
1) The flux is given to be
The flux is the change in mass density.
So,
For the mass density to not change, du/dt = 0
So, for u in the range 0 to 2,
The point where mass density doesn't change is
u = 1
2) the mass density at a time t is given by integrating the equation.
The total change in mass is given by
so, the total mass is changing.
