Formation of shocks in forced Burgers Equation — •Stephan Eule and Rudolf Friedrich — Instute of Theoretical Physics Wilhelm-Klemm-Straße 9 48149 Münster

We analyze the formation of shocks in the Burgers-equation with linear forcing on a bounded interval. We numerically determine the probability distribution for velocity increments. We show that shock formation can be considered in close analogy to the behaviour of an excitable system under external perturbations.
