======  CRUNCH Fractional PDEs Club ======

The Fractional PDEs Club at CRUNCH group aims to formulate robust and efficient methods for deterministic and stochastic fractional PDEs (FPDEs) under the supervision of Prof. George Em Karniadakis. This is done through the development of a variety of numerical methods such as finite-difference methods, spectral methods, spectral element methods, and discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods. We host the FPDEs Club meeting to provide opportunities for enhanced exchanges of ideas and cooperation among the FPDEs community, inside and outside of the FPDEs club.

Spectral Statistics and Fractional Transport in Aperiodic Optical Nanostructures







==== Fractional PDEs ====


Fractional PDEs (FPDEs) generalize the standard (integer-order) calculus and PDEs to any differential form of fractional orders. FPDEs are emerging as a powerful tool for modeling challenging multiscale phenomena including overlapping microscopic and macroscopic scales, anomalous transport, and long-range time memory or spatial interactions. The fractional order may be a function of space-time or even be a distribution, opening up tremendous opportunities for modeling and simulation of multiphysics phenomena, e.g. seamless transition from wave propagation to diffusion, or from local to non-local dynamics. It is even possible to construct data-driven fractional differential operators that fit data from a particular experiment or specific phenomenon, including the effect of uncertainties, in which the fractional orders are determined directly from the data! In other words, a new (and simple) data assimilation problem can be formulated to determine the fractional order (or possibly a distribution) through taking into account diverse sources of information, including all available experimental data albeit of variable fidelity.

** Applications **

There is now an extensive amount of experimental evidence indicating that such phenomena occur in many applications in mechanics, including non-Gaussian (Levy) processes in turbulent flows, non-Newtonian fluids and rheology, non-Brownian transport phenomena in porous and disordered materials, and non-Markovian processes in multi-scale complex fluids and multi-phase applications. Moreover, there exist many other critical applications in biomechanics, such as anomalous thermo-fluid processes in human brain, nonlocal viscoelasticity in human red-blood-cells, and power-law stress relaxation in wall-arteries. In such applications, fractional PDEs naturally appear as the right governing equations leading to high-fidelity modeling and predictive simulations, which otherwise cannot be achieved using the standard PDEs.
