this paper presents an operational formulation of the tau method based upon orthogonal polynomials by using a reduced set of matrix operations for the numerical solution of nonlinear multi-order fractional differential equations(fdes). the main characteristic behind the approach using this technique is that it reduces such problems to those of solving a system of non-linear algebraic equations....

We propose a discontinuous Galerkin method for fractional convection-diffusion equations with a superdiffusion operator of order α(1 < α < 2) defined through the fractional Laplacian. The fractional operator of order α is expressed as a composite of first order derivatives and a fractional integral of order 2 − α. The fractional convection-diffusion problem is expressed as a system of low order...

Fractional partial differential equations with distributed-order fractional derivatives describe some important physical phenomena. In this paper, we propose a local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method for the distributedorder time and Riesz space fractional convection-diffusion and Schrödinger type equations. We prove stability and optimal order of convergence O(h + (∆t) θ 2 + θ) for the distr...

This article describes the application of the immersed boundary technique for simulating fluid flow and heat transfer problems over or inside complex geometries. The methodology is based on a fractional step method to integrate in time. The governing equations are discretized and solved on a regular mesh with a finite-volume nonstaggered grid technique. Implementations of Dirichlet and Neumann ...
