A Rotated Crank-Nicolson Iterative Method For The Solution of Two-Dimensional Time-Fractional Diffusion Equation

摘要

This paper aims to examine the effectiveness of a rotated iterative method to solve the two-dimensional time fractional diffusion equations, which are used when describing transport processes with long memory where the rate of diffusion is inconsistent with the classical Brownian motion model. This type of equation is obtained by replacing the ?rst order time derivative in the standard di ? usion equation with a fractional derivative of order α, where 0 < α < 1, in accordance with Riemann-Liouville or Caputo. The developed method is derived from the standard Crank-Nicolson (S(C-N)) scheme by rotating clockwise 45 o with respect to the standard mesh. The study demonstrates the enhanced efficiency and superiority of the rotated Crank-Nicolson (R(C-N)) method, which overall reduces the CPU consumption time.
