Application of q-HATM over Fractional in Time Model for Advection-Dispersion Equation with Variable Migration Parameters

Abstract

In this article, an extended and more generalized method of homotopy analysis method (HAM), known as q-homotopy analysis transform method (q-HATM) is employed to develop solutions for highly nonlinear form of various time-fractional advection-dispersion models (TFADE). The proposed methodology of q-HATM is a conjunction of two different strong methodologies, that are HAM and Laplace transform technique (LTT) which makes the scheme much more capable to develop the convergent series solutions for differential equations with high nonlinearity. In this work, two different examples are constructed for the nonlinear time-fractional form of dispersion models corresponding to distance dependent dispersion and velocity components and also for the time dependent decay rate system and solutions are constructed by using q-HATM in generalized form. The graphical comparison is made for different types of variable functions and also for the different fractional order indexes. Prominent impact of fractional derivative indexes is significantly observed over both the examples of dispersion models. Hence, proposed examples shows that the q-HATM is much convenient to handle the nonlinear systems of fractional models.
