The main goal of this paper is to present a new approximate series solution of the multi-dimensional (heat-like) diffusion equation with time-fractional derivative in Caputo form using a semi-analytical approach: fractional-order reduced differential transform method (FRDTM). The efficiency of FRDTM is confirmed by considering four test problems of the multi-dimensional time fractional-order di...

In this paper, the fractional partial differential equations are defined by modified Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. With the help of fractional derivative and fractional complex transform, these equations can be converted into the nonlinear ordinary differential equations. By using solitay wave ansatz method, we find exact analytical solutions of the space-time fractional Zakharov Kuz...

In this paper, we are concerned with nonlinear one-dimensional fractional convection diffusion equations. An effective approach based on Chebyshev operational matrix is constructed to obtain the numerical solution of fractional convection diffusion equations with variable coefficients. The principal characteristic of the approach is the new orthogonal functions based on Chebyshev polynomials to...

BACKGROUND Sequel to the work on the quantization of nonconservative systems using fractional calculus and quantization of a system with Brownian motion, which aims to consider the dissipation effects in quantum-mechanical description of microscale systems. RESULTS The canonical quantization of a system represented classically by one-dimensional Fick's law, and the diffusion equation is carri...

We consider a time-dependent and a steady linear convection-diffusion equation. These equations are approximately solved by a combined finite element – finite volume method: the diffusion term is discretized by Crouzeix-Raviart piecewise linear finite elements on a triangular grid, and the convection term by upwind barycentric finite volumes. In the unsteady case, the implicit Euler method is u...

The unsteady hydro-magnetic free convection flow with heat transfer of a linearly viscous, incompressible, electrically conducting fluid near a moving vertical plate with the constant heat is investigated. The flow domain is the porous half-space and a magnetic field of a variable direction is applied. The Caputo time-fractional derivative is employed in order to introduce a thermal flux consti...

We report theoretical and numerical studies of the flow behaviour when a fluid is injected into a confined porous medium saturated with another fluid of different density and viscosity. For a two-dimensional configuration with point source injection, a nonlinear convection–diffusion equation is derived to describe the time evolution of the fluid–fluid interface. In the early time period, the fl...

In the paper, we consider the large time behavior of solutions to the convection-diffusion equation ut−∆u+∇·f(u) = 0 in IRn× [0,∞), where f(u) ∼ uq as u → 0. Under the assumption that q ≥ 1 + 1/(n + β) and the initial condition u0 satisfies: u0 ∈ L1(IRn), ∫ IRn u0(x) dx = 0, and ‖eu0‖L1(IRn) ≤ Ct−β/2 for fixed β ∈ (0, 1), all t > 0, and a constant C, we show that the L1-norm of the solution to ...
