Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the implementations of newly introduced nonlocal differential operators as convolution of power law, exponential decay law, and the generalized Mittag-Leffler law with fractal derivative in fluid dynamics. The new operators are referred as fractal-fractional differential operators. The governing equations for the problem are constructed with the fractal-fractional differential operators. We present the stability analysis and the error analysis.

1. Introduction

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) deals with the study of the motion of electrically conducting fluids in the presence of the magnetic field. MHD flow has significant importance applications between infinite parallel plates in various areas such as geophysical, astrophysical, and metallurgical processing, MHD generators, pumps, geothermal reservoirs, polymer technology, and mineral industries [16]. In last few decades, fractional calculus has taken much interest in many fields [7, 8]. There are many definitions for the fractional derivative operators, and among them are Caputo-Fabrizio (CF) [9] and Atangana and Baleanu (AB) [10] definitions of fractional derivatives with a nonlocal and nonsingular kernels having all the characteristics of the old definitions [7, 1123]. Farman et al. [24] have analyzed the numerical solution of SEIR Epidemic model of measles with noninteger time fractional derivatives by using the Laplace Adomian decomposition method. Ghanbari and Djilali [25] have taken mathematical analysis of a fractional-order predator-prey model with prey social behavior and infection developed in predator population. Ghanbari and Atangana [26, 27] have given the new edge detecting techniques based on fractional derivatives with nonlocal and nonsingular kernels. Recently, another idea of differentiation has been proposed by Atanagna [28].

We organize our manuscript as follows. We present the main definitions in Section 2. We construct the problem formulation in Section 3. We present the analysis of the model with the power law kernel in Section 4. We give the analysis of the model with the exponential decay kernel in Section 5. We discuss the analysis of the model with the Mittag-Leffler kernel in Section 6. We present the error analysis in Section 7. We give the conclusion in the last section.
