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 obtained as the special cases of the proposed fractional governing equations. Similar to findings of the fractional open channel flow process reported previously, the numerical example herein demonstrated that as the fractional powers of the space and time derivatives decrease from 1, overland flows have longer durations, and both the occurrence time and magnitude of the peak flows decrease. The proposed space and time fractional unsteady overland flow equations may allow modeling anomalous hydrographs by taking into account nonlocality in time and space, and may provide further insights into nonlocal transport in hillslopes reported in the literature.

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 Governing Equations of Diffusion Wave and Kinematic Wave Open-Channel Flow in Fractional Time-Space. I. Development of the Equations Kavvas, M. L.; Ercan, Ali (2015-09-01) 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 i...
Time-Space Fractional Governing Equations of Unsteady Open Channel Flow Kavvas, M. L.; Ercan, Ali (2017-02-01) In this study, the complete governing equations for unsteady open channel flow in fractional time-space are developed from the fractional continuity equation combined with the fractional motion equation, which is based on Newton's second law of motion, by accounting for the acceleration terms in order to render physically interpretable hydraulic terms. Then the kinematic wave and diffusion wave approximations to unsteady open channel flow with physically interpretable terms in fractional time-space are deve...
Average Vector Field Splitting Method for Nonlinear Schrodinger Equation Akkoyunlu, Canan; Karasözen, Bülent (2012-05-02) The energy preserving average vector field integrator is applied to one and two dimensional Schrodinger equations with symmetric split-step method. The numerical results confirm the long-term preservation of the Hamiltonians, which is essential in simulating periodic waves.
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 ...
