(a) Weakly dispersive wave pattern, obtained by Chen and Maschek [11], investigating a 3D-model by van Dam using perturbation method. Example with the following parameters:  m, , , ,  m−2 s−1, and  cm/day. (b) Strongly dispersive wave pattern, obtained by Chen et al. [19] within a 3D-model of traveling wave reactor. Example with the following parameters:  m, , ,  m−2 s−1, and  cm/day.
