Abstract

In this article we solve numerically the one-dimensional viscous Burgers' equation by the inflow-implicit/outflow-explicit method. The method is based on finite volume space discretization and a semi-implicit discretization in time. Inflows to the cells are treated implicitly and outflows explicitly. Comparisons of numerical solutions with the exact ones are presented. As a physical interpretation of the Burgers' equation we chose a simple continuum traffic flow model.
