Mathematica How Can We Elegantly Demonstrate Parabolic Behavior in PDE Systems?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding an elegant method to demonstrate the parabolic behavior of a specific system described by the equations involving partial derivatives of u and v. The user expresses interest in avoiding complex matrices of coefficients, which are typically applicable only to linear equations. The focus is on exploring alternative approaches that can effectively illustrate the parabolic nature of the system without resorting to overly complicated mathematical constructs. Suggestions for simpler, more intuitive methods are sought to clarify the behavior of the equations presented.

I am looking for an elegant way of demonstrating the parabolical behavior of the system:

\frac{\partial u}{\partial<br /> x}+\frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial}{\partial r}(vr)=0<br />

u\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}+v \frac{\partial<br /> u}{\partial r}=\frac{1}{r}\frac{\partial}{\partial r}\Big(r<br /> \frac{\partial u}{\partial r}\Big)<br />

Any idea?. I have read some ways of doing so by establishing a complicated matrix of coefficients, but it is only valid for linear equations.

Thanks in Advance!
