Solute transport in the fractured porous confined aquifer is modeled by the advection-dispersion equation with fractional time derivative of order γ, which may vary from 0 to 1. Accounting for diffusion in the surrounding rock mass leads to the introduction of an additional fractional time derivative of order 1∕2 in the equation for solute transport. The closed-form solutions for concentrations in the aquifer and surrounding rocks are obtained for the arbitrary time-dependent source of contamination located in the inlet of the aquifer. Based on these solutions, different regimes of contamination of the aquifers with different physical properties are modeled and analyzed.

Solute transport in the fractured porous confined aquifer is modeled by the advection-dispersion equation with fractional time derivative of order γ, which may vary from 0 to 1. Accounting for diffusion in the surrounding rock mass leads to the introduction of an additional fractional time derivative of order 1/2 in the equation for solute transport. The closed-form solutions for concentrations in the aquifer and surrounding rocks are obtained for the arbitrary time-dependent source of contamination located in the inlet of the aquifer. Based on these solutions, different regimes of contamination of the aquifers with different physical properties are modeled and analyzed.

Solute transport in a fractured porous confined aquifer is modelled by using an equation with a fractional-in-time derivative of order γ , which may vary from 0 to 1. Accounting for non-Fickian diffusion into the surrounding rock mass, which is modelled by a fractional spatial derivative of order α , leads to the introduction of an additional fractional-in-time derivative of order α /(1+ α ) in the equation for solute transport. Closed-form solutions for solute concentrations in the aquifer and surrounding rocks are obtained for an arbitrary time-dependent source of contamination located at the inlet of the aquifer. Based on these solutions, different regimes of contaminant transport in aquifers with various physical properties are modelled and analysed.

Closed-form solutions of infinite Bernoulli-Euler beams on a viscoelastic foundation are available for harmonic excitations with frequency Ω. For more general time-dependent loadings and beam-systems with local perturbations, for example caused by non-linear effects an overall treatment of the system in the time-domain is highly appropriated. Here the analytical dynamic stiffness of the infinite beam in the frequency-domain is approximated by a rational polynomial in the low frequency-domain and by an irrational part representing the asymptotic behaviour for Ω tending towards infinity. Thus, the corresponding description in the time-domain contains a fractional time derivative part and additonal internal variables due to splitting the rational polynomial into a linear system with respect to Ω.

Abstract Two inverse problems with final overdetermination for diffusion and wave equations containing the Caputo fractional time derivative and a fractional Laplacian of distributed order are considered. They are: 1) the problem to reconstruct a time-dependent source term; 2) the problem to recover simultaneously the source term, the order of the time derivative and the fractional Laplacian. Uniqueness of solutions of these problems is proved. Sufficient conditions for the uniqueness are stricter for the 2nd problem than for the 1st problem.

Abstract Environmental concerns have drawn much research interest in solute transport through porous media. Thus, contaminants of groundwater permeate through pores in the ground, and adsorption attenuates the pollution concentration as the pollutants adhere to the solid surface. Mathematical models based on certain simplifying assumptions have been used to predict solute transport. The transport of solutes in porous media is governed by a partial differential equation known as the advection-dispersion equation. In this study, a two-dimensional numerical model has been developed for solute transport through porous media. Results of spatial moments have been predicted and analysed in the presence of both constant and time-dependent dispersion coefficients. Afterward, a numerical model is used to simulate experimentally observed breakthrough curves for both conservative and non-conservative solutes. Thus, transport parameters are estimated through numerical simulation of observed breakthrough curves. Finally, this model gives the best simulation of observed breakthrough curves, and it can also be used in the field scale.

AbstractAn fractional abstract Cauchy problem generated by a sectorial operator is investigated. An inequality of coercivity type for its solution with respect to a complex interpolation scale generated by a sectorial operator with the same parameters is established. An application to differential parabolic initial-boundary value problems in bounded domains with a fractional time derivative is shown.

This paper presents the approximate analytical solutions to solve the nonlinear gas dynamics and coupled Burger’s equations with fractional time derivative. By using initial values, the explicit solutions of the equations are solved by using a reliable algorithm. Numerical results show that the new iterative method is easy to implement and accurate when applied to time-fractional partial differential equations.
