Abstract

The Cauchy problem for a one-dimensional nonlinear porous-media diffusion-convection differential equation is considered. A self-similar solution is derived that, after the Riccati transformation, is described in terms of the Airy functions. The asymptotic behavior of the solution for a small amount of species introduced into the porous media is investigated.
