    TRAVELING WAVE SOLUTIONS FOR A COMBUSTION MODEL
    (2005-05-04) Davis, Brian M; Trivisa, Konstantina; Applied Mathematics and Scientific Computation; Digital Repository at the University of Maryland; University of Maryland (College Park, Md.)
    From the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for a reacting mixture, we reduce the system to obtain a one-dimensional 2-species polytropic gas combustion model. We examine the equilibria and determine their stability as well as identify the conditions that provide for the existence and uniqueness of a traveling wave/shock layer solution.
