Journal ArticleDOI
A new collection of real world applications of fractional calculus in science and engineering
TL;DR: This review article aims to present some short summaries written by distinguished researchers in the field of fractional calculus that will guide young researchers and help newcomers to see some of the main real-world applications and gain an understanding of this powerful mathematical tool.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time and space nonlocalities underlying fractional-derivative models: Distinction and literature review of field applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the spatiotemporal nonlocality underlying fractional-derivative models as a possible explanation for regional-scale anomalous dispersion with heavy tails.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tempered anomalous diffusion in heterogeneous systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a tempered model to capture the slow convergence of sub-diffusion to a diffusion limit for passive tracers in heterogeneous media, which is validated against particle concentrations from detailed numerical simulations and field measurements, at various scales and geological environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review on variable-order fractional differential equations: mathematical foundations, physical models, numerical methods and applications
TL;DR: In this article, a survey of the recent relevant literature and findings in primary definitions, models, numerical methods and their applications is provided, which can help the readers for the selection of appropriate definition, model and numerical method to solve specific physical and engineering problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of a variable-index fractional-derivative model to capture transient dispersion in heterogeneous media
TL;DR: A variable-index fractional-derivative model (FDM) is proposed to describe the underlying transport dynamics of contaminant plumes and can efficiently quantify these transitions, with the scale index varying linearly in time or space.
