Description
Summary:Abstract In this paper, a new numerical technique implements on the time-space pseudospectral method to approximate the numerical solutions of nonlinear time- and space-fractional coupled Burgers’ equation. This technique is based on orthogonal Chebyshev polynomial function and discretizes using Chebyshev–Gauss–Lobbato (CGL) points. Caputo–Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative formula is used to illustrate the fractional derivatives matrix at CGL points. Using the derivatives matrices, the given problem is reduced to a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. These equations can be solved using Newton–Raphson method. Two model examples of time- and space-fractional coupled Burgers’ equation are tested for a set of fractional space and time derivative order. The figures and tables show the significant features, effectiveness, and good accuracy of the proposed method.
