Traveling wave solutions of a nonlinear degenerate parabolic system from petroleum engineering

Abstract
We consider existence and qualitative properties of traveling wave solutions of a new free boundary problem which describes fluid flow in diatomite rocks and in particular the phenomenon of hydraulic fracturing. For certain parameter values discontinuities of the traveling waves may appear near their free boundaries.
