Abstract:
The mathematical models of fluid filtration processes in porous media with a fractal structure and memory are based on differential equations of fractional order in both time and space variables. The dependence of the soil water content can significantly affect the moisture transport in capillary-porous media. The paper investigates the generalized Aller equation widely used in mathematical modeling of the processes related to water table dynamics in view of fractal structure. As a mathematical model of the Aller equation with Riemann–Liouville fractional derivatives, a loaded fractional order equation is proposed, and a solution to the Goursat problem has been written out for this model in explicit form.
