Diffusion Approximation for Self-Similarity of Stochastic Advection in Burgers' Equation

Self-similarity of Burgers' equation with stochastic advection is studied. In self-similar variables a stationary solution is constructed which establishes the existence of a stochastically self-similar solution for the stochastic Burgers' equation. The analysis assumes that the stochastic coefficient of advection is transformed to a white noise in the self-similar variables. Furthermore, by a diffusion approximation, the long time convergence to the self-similar solution is proved in the sense of distribution.
