Abstract
In this paper we make use of energy methods to study the Navier-Stokes equations with time-fractional derivative. Such equations can be used to simulate anomalous diffusion in fractal media. In the first step, we construct a regularized equation by using a smoothing process to transform unbounded differential operators into bounded operators and then obtain the approximate solutions. The second part describes a procedure to take a limit in the approximation program to present a global solution to the objective equation. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
