Anomalous diffusion in comb model subject to a novel distributed order time fractional Cattaneo-Christov flux (Q2184932)

In order to study the anomalous diffusion in comb model, the authors formulate the distributed order time fractional Cattaneo-Christov constitution relationship. The weight coefficients governing the fractional diffusion are chosen as power-law forms. Numerical solutions of the governing equation containing the relaxation parameter as well as a spectrum of the fractional derivative are obtained. While the distributed order item is transformed into multi-term fractional ones by employing the mid-point quadrature rule, the fractional derivatives are discretized by applying the \(L1\) scheme. A discussion on the effects of involved parameters on the spatial evolution and the power-law index evolution of particle distributions, is presented. Graphical illustrations present an analysis of the mass transfer mechanism.
