Abstract:
The earlier proposed geometric method of investigation of nonlinear partial differential equations is developed. The heat equation describing blow-up regimes and the equation for the flow function in a boundary layer are studied. We propose a modification of the method based on the specific character of the equations and show its applicability in the case under consideration. Classes of particular exact solutions are found and a boundary value problem is solved.
Keywords:nonlinear partial differential equations, heat equation, equation for the flow function in a boundary layer, exact solutions.
