Fractional Calculus for Hydrology, Soil Science and Geomechanics

Download or read book Fractional Calculus for Hydrology, Soil Science and Geomechanics written by Ninghu Su and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-11-02 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an unique integrated treatise, on the concepts of fractional calculus as models with applications in hydrology, soil science and geomechanics. The models are primarily fractional partial differential equations (fPDEs), and in limited cases, fractional differential equations (fDEs). It develops and applies relevant fPDEs and fDEs mainly to water flow and solute transport in porous media and overland, and in some cases, to concurrent flow and energy transfer. It is an integrated resource with theory and applications for those interested in hydrology, hydraulics and fluid mechanics. The self-contained book summaries the fundamentals for porous media and essential mathematics with extensive references supporting the development of the model and applications.
