Abstract
The article addresses a time fractional modified Kawahara equation through a fractional derivative with exponential kernel. The Kawahara equation describes the generation of non-linear water-waves in the long-wavelength regime. The numerical solution of the fractional model of modified version of Kawahara equation is derived with the help of iterative scheme and the stability of applied technique is established. In order to demonstrate the usability and effectiveness of the new fractional derivative to describe water-waves in the long-wavelength regime, numerical results are presented graphically.
