Abstract: We study asymptotic properties of solutions of scalar conservation laws with a positive superlinear source and with blowup at a single point. In a neighbourhood of the blowup point the asymptotic profile turns out to be different depending on whether blowup occurs along a shock curve or in a region where the solution is smooth. The profile is explicitly calculated in the cases with a powerlike flux and an exponential or powerlike source.
