Classification of Partial Differential Equations

PDEs in general or th governing equations in fluid dynamics are

classified into three categories:-
1- Elliptic 2- Parabolic and 3- Hyperbolic

Most of the governing equations in fluid dynamics are second order

PDEs. Let consider the PDEs of the form:-

∂ 2φ ∂ 2φ ∂ 2φ ∂φ ∂φ
A 2
+ B + C 2
+D +E + Fφ + G = 0.0
∂x ∂x∂y ∂y ∂x ∂y
The second order PDE is classified according to the sign of the
expression (B 2 − 4 AC ) :-
1- Elliptic if (B 2 − 4 AC < 0.0)
2- Parabolic if (B 2 − 4 AC = 0.0)
3- Hyperbolic if (B 2 − 4 AC > 0.0)
