A Note on the Time-Fractional Navier–Stokes Equation and the Double Sumudu-Generalized Laplace Transform Decomposition Method

Abstract

In this work, the time-fractional Navier–Stokes equation is discussed using a calculational method, which is called the Sumudu-generalized Laplace transform decomposition method (DGLTDM). The fractional derivatives are defined in the Caputo sense. The (DGLTDM) is a hybrid of the Sumudu-generalized Laplace transform and the decomposition method. Three examples of the time-fractional Navier–Stokes equation are studied to check the validity and demonstrate the effectiveness of the current method. The results show that the suggested method succeeds remarkably well in terms of proficiency and can be utilized to study more problems in the field of nonlinear fractional differential equations (FDEs).
