Abstract

In this paper we investigate anomalous diffusion coupled with linear convection, using fractional calculus to describe the anomalous associated memory effects in diffusive term. We get an explicit travelling wave solution, wavefront, with finite propagation. We comment the properties of the solution, including the stationary case.

Highlights

  • In this paper we investigate anomalous diffusion coupled with linear convection, using fractional calculus to describe the anomalous associated memory effects in diffusive term

  • We study the diffusion with linear convection, that is, a nonlinear convection-diffusion problem

  • We are interested in travelling wave solution given by similarity reductions to fractional equation

Summary

Riesz Fractional Derivative

The Riesz fractional derivative of order α , with 0 < α < 2 and α ≠ 1 is defined by: Dxα f (x) =. Where D±α f ( x) are Weyl fractional derivatives [20] [21]. Let be h ( x) = x −α −1 , with 1 < α < 2. We describe the Riesz fractional derivative of order α for an appropriate Fourier convolution product is given by: Dxα f= ( x) dα ( f ∗ h)( x),. This result is an improvement of the theorem developed by E. C. de Oliveira [22]
