Application of a fractional advection-dispersion equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A transport equation that uses fractional-order dispersion derivatives has fundamental solutions that are Lévy’s a-stable densities. These densities represent plumes that spread proportional to time, have heavy tails, and incorporate any degree of skewness. The equation is parsimonious since the dispersion parameter is not a function of time or distance. The scaling behavior of plumes that undergo Lévy motion is accounted for by the fractional derivative. A laboratory tracer test is described by a dispersion term of order 1.55, while the Cape Cod bromide plume is modeled by an equation of order 1.65 to 1.8.

In the last three decades, interest in fractional calculus has experienced rapid growth and at present we can find many papers devoted its theoretical and application aspects (see the work of Machado et al. (2011) and the references therein). Fractional order models of real systems are often more adequate than the usually used integer order models in electrochemistry (Ichise et al., 1971), adve...

We consider the space fractional advection-dispersion equation, which is obtained from the classical advection-diffusion equation by replacing the spatial derivatives with a generalised derivative of fractional order. We derive a finite volume method that utilises fractionally-shifted Grünwald formulas for the discretisation of the fractional derivative, to numerically solve the equation on a f...
