  A two-dimensional cellular automaton(CA) associated with a two-dimensional
Burgers equation is presented. The 2D Burgers equation is an integrable
generalization of the well-known Burgers equation, and is transformed into a 2D
diffusion equation by the Cole-Hopf transformation. The CA is derived from the
2D Burgers equation by using the ultradiscrete method, which can transform
dependent variables into discrete ones. Some exact solutions of the CA, such as
shock wave solutions, are studied in detail.
