Figure 2.  Left: Contour plot of the density $ \rho(t,x,z) $ for a fixed time $ t. $ Processed data with constant density $ r>0 $ is depicted in blue up to a stage of completion $ z = \zeta(t,x). $ Zero data (grey) is prescribed for completion stages $ z> \zeta(t,x) $, c.f. equation (28). Right: Similar plot of a density with constant values $ r_1 $ and $ r_2 $ and regions separated by functions $ \zeta_1(t,x) $ and $ \zeta_2(t,x) $

Figure 3.  Domain of hyperbolicity of system (42). In both cases, the non-hyperbolic region (gray) is bounded by the $ \xi_1 $-axis and by $ \xi_2 = \pm C \xi_1 $ with slope $ C = \frac{4 \epsilon \alpha \rho_* \eta}{\left(\epsilon \alpha -\rho_*\right)^2} \to 0 $ as $ \epsilon \to 0^+ $

Figure 5.  Density profiles based on the a simulation of the constant front solution (69) with the scheme in (58). The simulations in panels (a)-(c) use $ N^x = N^z = 800 $ computational cells, while in panel (d), numerical solutions are computed at different refinement levels. In the top row, the analytical front is marked by circles

Figure 6.  Density profiles based on the simulation of the $\textsf{V}$-shaped initial front (70) with the scheme in (58) using $ N^x = N^z = 800 $. The analytic solution is computed using (72). In the top row, the analytical front is marked by circles

Figure 7.  Density profiles based on the simulation of the $\textsf{V}$-shaped initial front in (70), using the scheme in (58) with $ N^x = N^z = 800 $. The analytic solution is computed using (72). In the top row, the analytical front is marked by circles

Figure 8.  Density profiles based on the simulation of the $\textsf{V}$-shaped initial front (70) with the scheme in (58) using $ N^x = N^z = 800 $. The analytical solution is computed using (74). In the top row, the analytical front is marked by circles
