Abstract
The advection–dispersion equations have gotten a lot of theoretical attention. The difficulty in dealing with these problems stems from the fact that there is no perfect answer and that tackling them using local numerical methods is tough. The Riesz fractional advection–dispersion equations are quantitatively studied in this research. The numerical methodology is based on the collocation approach and a simple numerical algorithm. To show the technique’s performance and competency, a comprehensive theoretical formulation is provided, along with numerical examples.
1. Introduction
As approximated strategies for addressing differential equations, many numerical techniques, global or local, were listed. Local techniques provide numerical answers for specific places, whereas global methods provide solutions for the whole domain. Using finite difference techniques, the numerical approximations for differential equations [1,2,3,4] are provided at certain places. While finite element approaches [5,6,7] split the whole interval into sub-intervals and provide an approximate solution in them. Because of their ability to solve problems with infinite or finite domains [8,9], spectral techniques have recently received the most attention for dealing with various forms of differential and integral equations [10,11,12]. The major benefits of spectral approaches are their fast convergence (exponential rate) and excellent accuracy level [13,14,15,16].
Fractional calculus is a branch of calculus in which differential equations are used to represent a wide range of phenomena in mechanics, biology, engineering, economics, and physics. Fractional models can be used to closely depict a variety of phenomena. Because it is hard to provide explicit analytical solutions to space and/or time-fractional differential equations in most circumstances, developing effective numerical techniques is a critical necessity. Riesz fractional may be used to closely reflect a variety of occurrences, as shown in [17,18,19]. Only a few numerical approaches are capable of approximating such situations. The authors of [20,21,22,23] provide a number of finite difference approaches for solving the one-dimensional Riesz space-fractional issue. To address the one-dimensional Riesz space-fractional issue, finite element techniques [24,25,26,27] were applied. For both the temporal and spatial discretizations of the Riesz space fractional partial differential, Lai and Liu employed the Galerkin finite element scheme [28]. Yang et al. solved the semilinear Riesz space-fractional diffusion equations with time delay using the implicit alternating direction approach [29]. Numerous numerical approaches are utilized for the two-dimensional Riesz space-fractional issue, such as compact alternating direction implicit [30], finite volume [31], semi-alternating direction [32], Crank–Nicolson Galerkin finite element [33] and finite element [34].
In contrast to the effort put into studying finite difference and finite elements schemes for solving fractional-order differential equations in the literature, only a small amount of academic work has been invested into constructing and analyzing global spectral schemes. The spectral collocation approach is very useful, as it can estimate a broad variety of equations, including linear and nonlinear differential equations, integral, integro-differential equations, fractional differential equations, optimal control, and variational problems. For its obvious advantages, the collocation technique has been successfully used in a wide range of scientific and technical domains. The collocation approach is highly beneficial in providing very accurate result owing to its exponential rate of convergence. In contrast, for dealing with fractional problems, the collocation strategy has risen in popularity in recent decades. The truncated solutions for advection–dispersion equations with the Riesz fractional (RF-ADEs) are derived using the Legendre collocation technique based on Gauss-Lobatto and Gauss-Radau nodes. We employed the spectral collocation technique for the x and t-discretizations. For x-discretization, the SL-GL-C scheme with proper boundary management is used. While the SL-GR-C technique was used for t-discretization. This adjustment considerably improves accuracy. After that, the residuals at the SL-GR and SL-GL quadrature nodes are calculated. As a consequence, we have an algebraic system that can be solved using a suitable method. A variety of numerical problems are used to illustrate the accuracy of the new technique.
