In this work, we solve the fractional-order Fornberg-Whitham (FW) problem in the context of the Caputo operator by using the Optimal Auxiliary Function Method. Tables and figures showing full numerical findings indicate the correctness and efficacy of this strategy. The results provide insights into the solution behavior of the FW equation and demonstrate the applicability of the Optimal Auxiliary Function Method. By giving insight on the behavior of the FW equation in a fractional context, this research advances the use of fractional calculus techniques in the solution of complicated differential equations.
