Starting from a time-space nonstationary general random walk formulation, first the general fractional random walk model of transport by time-space nonstationary flow in fractional time space is presented. From this general fractional random walk model, the development of the pure advection and advection-dispersion forms of the fractional ensemble average equations of solute transport by time-space nonstationary stochastic flow fields in fractional time-space are then presented. The purely advective form represents the Lagrangian form of the ensemble average mass conservation equation for solute transport in fractional time-space. In the case of the fractional ensemble average advection-dispersion transport equation, the moment and cumulant forms of the equation are quite different, and are both presented. Next, the developed fractional ensemble equations of transport, in their purely advective, and moment and cumulant advective-dispersive forms, are evaluated by numerical simulations against the corresponding Monte Carlo solutions. These comparisons show that the cumulant form of the advective-dispersive ensemble average fractional transport equation is generally superior in simulating the shape and mode of the ensemble average concentration of the contaminant. The derived fractional ensemble average equations of transport can accommodate both the non-Fickian and the Fickian behavior of transport.

Fractional Ensemble Average Governing Equations of Transport by Time-Space Nonstationary Stochastic Fractional Advective Velocity and Fractional Dispersion. I: Theory Kavvas, M. L.; Kim, S.; Ercan, Ali (2015-02-01) In this study, starting from a time-space nonstationary general random walk formulation, the pure advection and advection-dispersion forms of the fractional ensemble average governing equations of solute transport by time-space nonstationary stochastic flow fields were developed. In the case of the purely advective fractional ensemble average equation of transport, the advection coefficient is a fractional ensemble average advective flow velocity in fractional time and space that is dependent on both space ...
Oscillation of higher order nonlinear dynamic equations on time scales Grace, Said R; Agarwal, Ravi P; Zafer, Ağacık (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-5-23) Some new criteria for the oscillation of nth order nonlinear dynamic equations of the form x(Delta n) (t) + q (t) (x(sigma) (xi (t)))(lambda) = 0 are established in delay xi(t) a parts per thousand currency sign t and non-delay xi(t) = t cases, where n a parts per thousand yen 2 is a positive integer, lambda is the ratio of positive odd integers. Many of the results are new for the corresponding higher order difference equations and differential equations are as special cases.
Scalar waves in spacetimes with closed timelike curves Buğdaycı, Necmi; Başkal, Sibel; Department of Physics (2005) The existence and -if exists- the nature of the solutions of the scalar wave equation in spacetimes with closed timelike curves are investigated. The general properties of the solutions on some class of spacetimes are obtained. Global monochromatic solutions of the scalar wave equation are obtained in flat wormholes of dimensions 2+1 and 3+1. The solutions are in the form of infinite series involving cylindirical and spherical wave functions and they are elucidated by the multiple scattering method. Explici...
Fractional Governing Equations of Diffusion Wave and Kinematic Wave Open-Channel Flow in Fractional Time-Space. II. Numerical Simulations Ercan, Ali; Kavvas, M. Levent (2015-09-01) In this study, finite difference numerical methods, first order accurate in time and second order accurate in space, are proposed to solve the governing equations of the one-dimensional unsteady kinematic and diffusion wave open-channel flow processes in fractional time and fractional space, which were derived in the accompanying paper. Advantages of modeling open-channel flow in a fractional time-space framework over integer time-space framework are threefold. First, the nonlocal phenomena in the open-chan...
Forced oscillation of super-half-linear impulsive differential equations Oezbekler, A.; Zafer, Ağacık (Elsevier BV, 2007-09-01) By using a Picone type formula in comparison with oscillatory unforced half-linear equations, we derive new oscillation criteria for second order forced super-half-linear impulsive differential equations having fixed moments of impulse actions. In the superlinear case, the effect of a damping term is also considered.
