A numerical combined algorithm in cubic B-spline method and finite difference technique for the time-fractional nonlinear diffusion wave equation with reaction and damping terms

Abstract

The applications of the diffusion wave model of a time-fractional kind with damping and reaction terms can occur within classical physics. This quantification of the activity can measure the diagnosis of mechanical waves and light waves. The goal of this work is to predict and construct numerical solutions for such a diffusion model based on the uniform cubic B-spline functions. The Caputo time-fractional derivative has been estimated using the standard finite difference technique, whilst, the uniform cubic B-spline functions have been employed to achieve spatial discretization. The convergence of the suggested blueprint is discussed in detail. To assert the efficiency and authenticity of the study, we compute the approximate solutions for a couple of applications of the diffusion model in electromagnetics and fluid dynamics. To show the mathematical simulation, several tables and graphs are shown, and it was found that the graphical representations and their physical explanations describe the behavior of the solutions lucidly. The key benefit of the resultant scheme is that the algorithm is straightforward and makes it simple to implement as utilized in the highlight and conclusion part.
