title: Asymptotic solutions of the inhomogeneous Burgers equation.
abstract: The method of the active second harmonic suppression in resonators is investigated in this paper both analytically and numerically. The resonator is driven by a piston which vibrates with two frequencies. The first one agrees with an eigenfrequency and the second one is equal to the two times higher eigenfrequency. The phase shift of the second piston motion is 180 deg. It is known that for this case it is possible to describe generation of the higher harmonics by means of the inhomogeneous Burgers equation. This model equation was solved for stationary state analytically by a number of authors but only for ideal fluids. Unlike their solutions, new asymptotic solutions are presented here which take into account dissipative effects. The asymptotic solutions are compared with numerical ones. For study of generation higher harmonics the solutions are developed in a spectral form.
