In this paper, the second in a series of two, the theory developed in the companion paper is applied to transport by stationary and nonstationary stochastic advective flow fields. A numerical solution method is presented for the resulting fractional ensemble average transport equation (fEATE), which describes the evolution of the ensemble average contaminant concentration (EACC). The derived fEATE is evaluated for three different forms: (1) purely advective form of fEATE, (2) moment form of the fractional ensemble average advection-dispersion equation (fEAADE) form of fEATE, and (3) cumulant form of the fractional ensemble average advection-dispersion equation (fEAADE) form of fEATE. The Monte Carlo analysis of the fractional governing equation is then performed in a stochastic flow field, generated by a fractional Brownian motion for the stationary and nonstationary stochastic advection, in order to provide a benchmark for the results obtained from the fEATEs. When compared to the Monte Carlo simulation-based EACCs, the cumulant form of fEAADE gives a good fit in terms of the shape and mode of the ensemble average concentration of the contaminant. Therefore, it is quite promising that the non-Fickian transport behavior can be modeled by the derived fractional ensemble average transport equations either by means of the long memory in the underlying stochastic flow, by means of the time-space nonstationarity of the underlying stochastic flow, or by means of the time and space fractional derivatives of the transport equations.

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 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 incompressible stars Bayin, Selcuk S.; Krisch, Jean P. (2015-10-01) In this paper we investigate the fractional versions of the stellar structure equations for non radiating spherical objects. Using incompressible fluids as a comparison, we develop models for constant density Newtonian objects with fractional mass distributions and/or stress conditions. To better understand the fractional effects, we discuss effective values for the density and equation of state. The fractional objects are smaller and less massive than integer models. The fractional parameters are related t...
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...
Oscillation of integro-dynamic equations on time scales Grace, Said R.; Graef, John R.; Zafer, Ağacık (2013-04-01) In this paper, the authors initiate the study of oscillation theory for integro-dynamic equations on time-scales. They present some new sufficient conditions guaranteeing that the oscillatory character of the forcing term is inherited by the solutions.
