Inviscid Burgers equation — multivalued wave

I'm quite new to Wolfram Mathematica. I need to create an animation of a Burgers Hopf equation's solution which becomes multivalued (somewhat of a breaking wave). Is it possible to do so in Mathematica?



All I seem to obtain is a very sharp series of oscillations which I assume are a numerical correction by the software.



Any help will be appreciated.



NDSolve[
 D[u[x, t], t] + 1/2 D[u[x, t]^2, x] == 0, 
 u[x, 0] == Sech[x]^2, u[-5, t] == u[5, t], 
 u[x, t], x, -5, 5, t, 0, 5]`

    There are examples of plots, even dynamic with Manipulate, on NDSolve documentation page. Have you seen them?

  • i have seen them but nothing seems to create the animation i need, which is a c- shaped wave

  • I don't think you can get c-shaped wave, nor wiki page shows them. But you create a steep one with your solution.

    What do you mean by c-shaped wave? Can you be more specific?

  • i mean an animation of a gaussian like wave in which the upper portion goes faster tham the lower one, so it creates sort of a breaking wave, but kuba confirmed my suspects, it's probably not possible to obtain in Mathematica

I don't think NDSolve is the right tool for the task, because it can only solve for single-valued functions. (Well, is there any mathematical software that can deal with multi-valued functions natively? ) Fortunately, your goal is just creating an animation for the multi-valued solution, then we can simply refer to the analytic solution of this problem:



Animate[ParametricPlot[t f[ξ] + ξ, f[ξ], ξ, -5, 5, 
 AspectRatio -> 1/GoldenRatio], t, 0, 5]
