Abstract
The article considers a one-dimensional quasi-linear heat equation with a volume heat source and a nonlinear thermal conductivity. The analysis is conducted for parameter values where selfsimilar solutions of the equations evolve in an LS-regime with blowup. Heat localization is observed in this case, and the combustion process in the developed stage is in the form of simple or complex structures of contracting half-width. We study the evolution dynamics of various initial distributions and their achievement of the self-similar regime, and also the dependence of the size of the localization region on the shape of the initial compactly supported distribution. The possibility of cyclic evolution of solutions against the background of overall growth with blowup is demonstrated. We particularly focus on the case when the size of the spatial region is much less than the characteristic size of the localization region, and heat flow is obstructed by the physical boundaries. In this case all initial perturbations achieve the self-similar regime, but the corresponding scenario has certain specific features. We present an example of formation of a complex spatial structure that evolves with blowup on a small interval.
