International Symposium on Fractional PDEs: Theory, Numerics and Applications

June 3 - 5, 2013, Salve Regina University, 100 Ochre Point Avenue, Newport RI 02840

Conference Objectives
Fractional Partial Differential Equations (FPDEs) are emerging as a new powerful tool for modeling the most difficult type of complex systems, i.e., systems with overlapping microscopic and macroscopic scales or systems with long-range time memory and long-range spatial interactions. They offer a new way of accessing the mesoscale using the continuum formulation and hence extending the continuum description for multiscale modeling of viscoelastic materials, control of autonomous vehicles, transitional and turbulent flows, wave propagation in porous media, electric transmission lines, and speech signals. The aim of this first workshop in the USA on FPDEs is to cover theory, algorithms and applications. Recent activity on FPDEs has taken place mostly in China and to a lesser degree in Europe; hence we have invited our overseas colleagues to share with US researchers the new advances in the methodology and applications of FPDEs. We also expect many young US postdocs to attend the workshop, hence introducing the new generation of simulation scientists to these emerging computational methods.

Nonlinear dynamics is still a hot and challenging topic. In this edited book, we focus on fractional dynamics, infinite dimensional dynamics defined by the partial differential equation, network dynamics, fractal dynamics, and their numerical analysis and simulation.
Fractional dynamics is a new topic in the research field of nonlinear dynamics which has attracted increasing interest due to its potential applications in the real world, such as modeling memory processes and materials. In this part, basic theory for fractional differential equations and numerical simulations for these equations will be introduced and discussed.

Fractional calculus in hydrologic modeling: A numerical perspective

David A. Benson, Mark M. Meerschaert, Jordan Revielle

Publication information: David A. Benson, Mark M. Meerschaert, Jordan Revielle. Fractional calculus in hydrologic modeling: A numerical perspective. Advances in Water Resources, 2013, 51:479每497. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.advwatres.2012.04.005

Abstract
Fractional derivatives can be viewed either as handy extensions of classical calculus or, more deeply, as mathematical operators defined by natural phenomena. This follows the view that the diffusion equation is defined as the governing equation of a Brownian motion. In this paper, we emphasize that fractional derivatives come from the governing equations of stable L谷vy motion, and that fractional integration is the corresponding inverse operator. Fractional integration, and its multi-dimensional extensions derived in this way, are intimately tied to fractional Brownian (and L谷vy) motions and noises. By following these general principles, we discuss the Eulerian and Lagrangian numerical solutions to fractional partial differential equations, and Eulerian methods for stochastic integrals. These numerical approximations illuminate the essential nature of the fractional calculus.

A fractal Richards' equation to capture the non-Boltzmann scaling of water transport in unsaturated media

HongGuang Sun, Mark M. Meerschaert, Yong Zhang, Jianting Zhu, Wen Chen

Publication information: HongGuang Sun, Mark M. Meerschaert, Yong Zhang, Jianting Zhu, Wen Chen. A fractal Richards' equation to capture the non-Boltzmann scaling of water transport in unsaturated media. Advances in Water Resources, 2013, 52: 292-295. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.advwatres.2012.11.005 .

Abstract
The traditional Richards' equation implies that the wetting front in unsaturated soil follows Boltzmann scaling, with travel distance growing as the square root of time. This study proposes a fractal Richards' equation (FRE), replacing the integer-order time derivative of water content by a fractal derivative, using a power law ruler in time. FRE solutions exhibit anomalous non-Boltzmann scaling, attributed to the fractal nature of heterogeneous media. Several applications are presented, fitting the FRE to water content curves from previous literature.

Evidence of one-dimensional scale-dependent fractional advection-dispersion

Publication information: Guanhua Huang, Quanzhong Huang, Hongbin Zhan. Evidence of one-dimensional scale-dependent fractional advection-dispersion. Journal of Contaminant Hydrology, 2006, 85(1-2): 53-71. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jconhyd.2005.12.007

Abstract
A semi-analytical inverse method and the corresponding program FADEMain for parameter estimation of the fractional advection每dispersion equation (FADE) were developed in this paper. We have analyzed Huang et al.'s [Huang, K., Toride, N., van Genuchten, M.Th., 1995. Experimental investigation of solute transport in large homogeneous and heterogeneous saturated soil columns. Trans. Porous Media 18, 283-302.] laboratory experimental data of conservative solute transport in 12.5-m long homogeneous and heterogeneous soil columns to test the non-Fickian dispersion theory of FADE. The dispersion coefficient was calculated by fitting the analytical solution of FADE to the measured data at different transport scales. We found that the dispersion coefficient increased exponentially with transport scale for the homogeneous column, whereas it increased with transport scale in a power law function for the heterogeneous column. The scale effect of the dispersion coefficient in the heterogeneous soil was much more significant comparing to that in the homogeneous soil. The increasing rate of dispersion coefficient versus transport distance was smaller for FADE than that for the advection每dispersion equation (ADE). Finite difference numerical approximations of the scale-dependent FADE were established to interpret the experimental results. The numerical solutions were found to be adequate for predicting scale-dependent transport in the homogeneous column, while the prediction for the heterogeneous column was less satisfactory.
