System of First-Order Quasilinear PDEs: Burgers' Equation

161 Views Asked by At

The Burgers' equation is given by $u_{t}+uu_{x}=\nu u_{xx}$, where $u=u(x,t)$ and $\nu$ is the kinematic viscosity.

How do I rewrite the equation (or any higher order PDE) as a system of first-order quasilinear PDEs? I am particularly interested in a general methodology. Books or online materials that discuss this in detail will be appreciated.

Thanks, Radz.
