He, Jihuan Approximate analytical solution for seepage flow with fractional derivatives in porous media. (English) Zbl 0942.76077 Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Eng. 167, No. 1-2, 57-68 (1998). Summary: We propose an exact model for seepage flow in porous media with fractional derivatives, which modifies the well-known Darcy law and overcomes the continuity assumption of seepage flow. A variational iteration method is described and used to give approximate solutions of the problem. The results show that the proposed iteration method, requiring no linearization or small perturbation, is effective.
