General solutions of the nonlinear PDEs governing the erosion kinetics

Abstract

We present the construction of the general solutions concerning the one-dimensional (1D) fully dynamic nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs), for the erosion kinetics. After an uncoupling procedure of the above mentioned equations a second-order nonlinear PDE of the Monge type governing the porosity is derived, the general solution of which is constructed in the sense that a full complement of arbitrary functions (as many as the order) is introduced. Afterwards, we specify the above solution according to convenient initial conditions.
