Abstract
This paper consists of an exploration of the wave structures of the Benjamin–Ono equation along with a -time fractional derivative. The model concerned is utilized to demonstrate internal waves of deep-stratified fluids. Bright, rational, periodic, and many more kinds of solutions for waves are achieved by utilizing the extended sinh-Gordon equation expansion (EShGEE) technique and the improved -expansion scheme. An influence of fractional-order derivatives was also explored which gives the non-existing results. The Mathematica tool is utilized to gain and verify the results. The results are represented by 3-D, 2-D, and contour graphs. A stability analysis is utilized to confirm that results are precise as well as exact. Modulation instability (MI) is also performed for the steady-state solutions to the concerned model.
1. Introduction
Many naturally occurring phenomena are expressed as mathematical models. Many models are constructed as a shape of partial fractional differential equations (FPDEs) in various areas of engineering as well as science, for instance, the fractional paraxial Schrödinger equation [], fractional Westervelt equation [], and many others. Fractional calculus plays a significant role across various domains of science and engineering. Different methods have been introduced, including the generalized Riccati expansion technique [], the Khater II scheme [], the -expansion approach [], and the modified sub-ODE technique [], among others.
In this research work, the authors utilized two useful and reliable techniques: the EShGEE and the improved -expansion methods. The techniques concerned are utilized for various equations. For example, the extended ShGEE scheme is utilized for the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger model [], the Kundu–Eckhaus model [], the Schrödinger model along anti-cubic non-linearity [], and the generalized Bretherton model []. In the same way, the improved -expansion approach is applied to the breaking soliton model [], the Kaup–Kupershmidt model [], the modified Kawahara model [], the Estevez–Mansfield–Clarkson model [], and many more.
The aim of our research is to discover the distinct results of the fractional Benjamin–Ono model. Furthermore, dynamical analysis is discussed in the form of stability as well as MI analysis.
The motivation of our research is to explore the novel types of wave structures of the Benjamin–Ono model in relation to a -time fractional derivative. The use of a fractional derivative represents the model in a more prominent form as well as providing more accurate results than the ordinary derivative. The techniques used provide different types of soliton solutions without any limitations/assumptions. Moreover, stability analysis and modulation instability analysis provide us with the stability as well as the accuracy of the solutions and model. The obtained solutions are useful in fluid dynamics and mathematical physics to study wave interaction, wave pattern, wave breaking, ocean engineering, etc.
The rest of the paper is structured as follows. The fractional calculus is introduced in Section 2, while the governing model is shown in Section 3. The analytical strategies are described in Section 4, the scientific computations are carried out in Section 5, the stability process is performed in Section 6, the MI analysis is performed in Section 7, graphical explanations are explored in Section 8, results and discussion are given in Section 9, and we conclude in Section 10.
2. The -Time Fractional Derivative
The fractional derivative denotes global connectivity compared to the integer order derivative, suggesting that it could represent the dynamic processes involved in function evolution more precisely. In contrast to traditional calculus, which only examines the problem as it stands, mathematical modeling of these situations uses a fractional derivative, which explains why the models are nonlocal. Many researchers have recently examined many types of conformable fractional derivatives that describe various applications []. Fractional Taylor power series expansions, the chain rule, Linear differential systems, Laplace transforms, integration by parts, and Gronwall’s inequality were some of the concepts that Abdeljawad worked on []. Numerous significant physical mechanisms have been described in the literature using a range of fractional derivatives []. These include the Atangana [], the Caputo [], the modified Riemann–Liouville given by Jumarie [], and the Beta derivative [].
Suppose that is defined ∀. Therefore, the -time fractional derivative of v with order is given in [].
Suppose that and are -time differential functions ∀ y and , then the given properties are fulfilled [,]:
