摘要
In the present work, making use of the hyperbolic tangent method a complex travelling wave solution to the KdV-Burgers equation is obtained. It is observed that the real part of the solution is the combination of a shock and a solitary wave whereas the imaginary part is the product of a shock with a solitary wave. By imposing some restrictions on the field variable at infinity, two complex waves, i.e., right going and left going waves with specific wave speed are obtained. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.
