Initial data for the exact solution subroutine p_smooth/u_exa.f: 3. maximum temperature 'umax' in the bar. 1. steepening parameter 'alpha' for the initial profile. 1. shift parameter 'beta' for the initial profile The initial profile takes the form u = umax arctan(alpha sin(2 pi x/l -beta)) / arctan(alpha) hence for alpha = 0: u(x,0) = umax sin(2 pi x/l - beta) alpha = infinity: u(x,0) = +umax or -umax Copyright 1996 Leon van Dommelen
