In this study the fractional governing equations for diffusion wave and kinematic wave approximations to unsteady open-channel flow in prismatic channels in fractional time-space were developed. The governing fractional equations were developed from the mass and motion conservation equations in order to provide a physical basis to these equations. A fractional form of the resistance formula for open-channel flow was also developed. Detailed dimensional analyses of the derived equations were then performed in order to ensure dimensional consistency of the derivations. It is shown that these fractional equations of unsteady open-channel flow are fundamentally nonlocal in terms of nonlocal fluxes. The derived fractional governing equations of diffusion wave and kinematic wave open-channel flow can accommodate both the long-memory nonlocal behavior of open-channel flow as well as its local, finite memory behavior, as is numerically demonstrated in the accompanying paper by the authors.

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...
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 ...
Fractional governing equations of transient groundwater flow in unconfined aquifers with multi-fractional dimensions in fractional time Kavvas, M. Levent; Tu, Tongbi; Ercan, Ali; Polsinelli, James (2020-01-01) In this study, a dimensionally consistent governing equation of transient unconfined groundwater flow in fractional time and multi-fractional space is developed. First, a fractional continuity equation for transient unconfined groundwater flow is developed in fractional time and space. For the equation of groundwater motion within a multi-fractional multidimensional unconfined aquifer, a previously developed dimensionally consistent equation for water flux in unsaturated/saturated porous media is combined w...
Super-gain parametric wave amplification in optical micro-resonators using ultrashort pump waves Aşırım, Özüm Emre; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020) The aim of this thesis is to show that super-gain electromagnetic wave amplification can be achieved in a small micro-resonator using high-intensity ultrashort pump waves, provided that the frequencies of the ultrashort pulses are tuned to maximize the intracavity magnitude of the wave to be amplified, which is called the stimulus wave. In order to accomplish this, a dispersion analysis is performed via numerical modeling of the polarization density in terms of the nonlinear electron cloud motion. The polar...
Space and Time Fractional Governing Equations of Unsteady Overland Flow Kavvas, M. Levent; Ercan, Ali; Tu, Tongbi (2021-07-01) Combining fractional continuity and motion equations, the space and time fractional governing equations of unsteady overland flow were derived. The kinematic and diffusion wave approximations were obtained from the space and time fractional continuity and motion equations of the overland flow process. When the fractional powers of space and time derivatives go to 1, the fractional governing equations become the conventional governing equations of unsteady overland flow, and the conventional equations can be...
