We study the vanishing viscosity limit of a non-strictly hyperbolic system of balance laws known as the 1D Saint-Venant model whose solution admits δ-waves. The balance term depends on both the variables x and t and is unbounded in the space variable x unlike the work of Olenik [Usp Math. Nauk. 12(3), 3–73 (1957) (in Russian)]. We also studied the large time behavior when the viscosity parameter is positive. When the balance term depends only on the time variable, we obtained an explicit formula for the solution.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
