The purpose of this study is to solve two unique but difficult partial differential equations: the foam drainage equation and the nonlinear time-fractional fisher’s equation

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to solve two unique but difficult partial differential equations: the foam drainage equation and the nonlinear time-fractional fisher’s equation. Through our methods, we aim to provide accurate solutions and gain a deeper understanding of the intricate behaviors exhibited by these systems.

Design/methodology/approach

In this study, we use a dual technique that combines the Aboodh residual power series method and the Aboodh transform iteration method, both of which are combined with the Caputo operator.

Findings

We develop exact and efficient solutions by merging these unique methodologies. Our results, presented through illustrative figures and data, demonstrate the efficacy and versatility of the Aboodh methods in tackling such complex mathematical models.

Originality/value

Owing to their fractional derivatives and nonlinear behavior, these equations are crucial in modeling complex processes and confront analytical complications in various scientific and engineering contexts.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to consider the time‐fractional diffusion‐wave equation. The time‐fractional diffusion equation is obtained from the standard diffusion equation by replacing the first‐order time derivative with a fractional derivative of order α ∈ (0, 2]. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense.

Design/methodology/approach

The two methods in applied mathematics can be used as alternative methods for obtaining an analytic and approximate solution for different types of differential equations.

Findings

Four examples are presented to show the application of the present techniques. In these schemes, the solution takes the form of a convergent series with easily computable components. The present methods perform extremely well in terms of efficiency and simplicity.

Originality/value

In this paper, the variational iteration and homotopy perturbation methods are used to obtain a solution of a fractional diffusion equation.

Abstract

Purpose

The mathematical model of a two-phase Lamé-Clapeyron-Stefan problem for a semi-infinite material with a density jump is considered. The purpose of this paper is to study the analytical solutions of the models and show the performance of several parameters.

Design/methodology/approach

To describe the heat conduction, the Caputo type time fractional heat conduction equation is used and a convective term is included since the changes in density give rise to motion of the liquid phase. The similarity variables are used to simplify the models.

Findings

The analytical solutions describing the changes of temperature in both liquid and solid phases are obtained. For the solid phase, the solution is given in the Wright function form. While for the liquid phase, since the appearance of the advection term, an approximate solution in series form is given. Based on the solutions, the performance of the parameters is discussed in detail.

Originality/value

From the point of view of mathematics, the moving boundary problems are nonlinear, so barely any analytical solutions for these problems can be obtained. Furthermore, there are many applications in which a material undergoes phase change, such as in melting, freezing, casting and cryosurgery.

The algorithm is demonstrated to be direct and precise, and can be used for many other nonlinear fractional partial differential equations. The fractional derivatives described in this paper are in the Jumarie's modified Riemann-Liouville sense.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the inverse problem of determining a time-dependent heat source in a parabolic equation with nonlocal boundary and integral overdetermination conditions.

Design/methodology/approach

The variational iteration method (VIM) is employed as a numerical technique to develop numerical solution. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the advantages of the method.

Findings

Using this method, we obtain the exact solution of this problem. Whether or not there is a noisy overdetermination data, our numerical results are stable. Thus the VIM is suitable for finding the approximation solution of the problem.

Originality/value

This method is based on the use of Lagrange multipliers for the identification of optimal values of parameters in a functional and gives rapidly convergent successive approximations of the exact solution if such a solution exists.
