Hodograph Method and Numerical Solution of the Two Hyperbolic Quasilinear Equations System. Part II. Zonal Electrophoresis Equations

Abstract: The paper presents the solutions for the zonal electrophoresis equations are obtained by analytical and numerical methods. The method proposed by the authors is used. This method allows to reduce the Cauchy problem for two hyperbolic quasilinear PDE's to the Cauchy problem for ODE's. In some respect, this method is analogous to the method of characteristics for two hyperbolic equations. The method is effectively applicable in all cases when the explicit expression for the Riemann-Green function of some linear second order PDE, resulting from the use of the hodograph method for the original equations, is known. One of the method advantages is the possibility of constructing a multi-valued solutions. Compared with the previous authors paper, in which, in particular, the shallow water equations are studied, here we investigate the case when the Riemann-Green function can be represent as the sum of the terms each of them is a product of two multipliers depended on different variables. The numerical results for zonal electrophoresis equations are presented. For computing the different initial data (periodic, wave packet, the Gaussian distribution) are used.
