coefficients of ε from Eqs. (11) and (12), and the coefficients of ε from Eqs.<br />

(9) and (10), we obtain:<br />

From the set of Eqs. (23) - (26) for N , U , Φ along with another set of<br />

(1) (1) (1)<br />

Eqs. (19) - (21) for N , U , Φ , we can easily derive the following nonlinear<br />

dynamical equation:<br />

where<br />

and<br />

are respectively the nonlinear coefficient and dissipative coefficient of Eq. (27).<br />

(1)<br />

Equation (27) is the well-known modified Burger equation. The term ( ν / 2 τ ) Φ<br />

in Eq. (27) is due to the effect of non-planar geometry [41, 42].<br />

NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF THE MODIFIED BURGER’S EQUATION<br />

AND GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION<br />

As mentioned earlier the one-dimensional planar case ( ν = 0) has already been<br />

studied by Paul et al. [38]. In this case, we introduced ζ = ξ − U0τ ′ and τ ′ = τ ,
