We deal with numerical analysis and simulations of the Davey-Stewartson equations which model, for example, the evolution of water surface waves. This time dependent PDE system is particularly interesting as a generalization of the 1-d integrable NLS to 2 space dimensions. We use a time splitting spectral method where we give a convergence analysis for the semi-discrete version of the scheme. Numerical results are presented for various blow-up phenomena of the equation, including blowup of defocusing, elliptic-elliptic Davey-Stewartson systems and simultaneous blowup at multiple locations in the focusing elliptic-elliptic system. Also the modeling of exact soliton type solutions for the hyperbolic-elliptic (DS2) system is studied.
