Abstract
We examine weakly dissipative, weakly nonlinear waves in which the fundamental derivative locus. The cubic Burgers equation governing these waves is solved numerically; the resultant solutions are compared and contrasted to those of the inviscid theory. Further results include the presentation of a natural scaling law and inviscid solutions not reported elsewhere.Keywords
