Hello!
It is the first time that i write on this forum. I'm doing a PhD but i can't solve this equation:
it's a non-linear second order differential equation.

ay''+b|y|y'+cy+dx=0

Some ideas?

No idea analytically, but have you tried numerically solving it? That way you can get an idea of what it look like and then perhaps asymptotic analysis.

Have you tried writing it as a first order system?
 
Are there any good visualization tutorials, written or video, that show graphically how separation of variables works? I particularly have the time-independent Schrodinger Equation in mind. There are hundreds of demonstrations out there which essentially distill to copies of one another. However I am trying to visualize in my mind how this process looks graphically - for example plotting t on one axis and x on the other for f(x,t). I have seen other good visual representations of...
