This book will introduce new physical approaches (include fractional derivative models, continuous time random walk methods and Hausdorff derivative models) to accurately characterize anomalous sediment transport in turbulent flow. This book will systematically investigate anomalous sediment transport inexperiments, physical analysis, stochastic model and field applications.

Fractional Derivative Modeling in Mechanics and Engineering

This textbook highlights the theory of fractional calculus and its wide applications in mechanics and engineering. It describes in details the research findings in using fractional calculus methods for modeling and numerical simulation of complex mechanical behavior. It covers the mathematical basis of fractional calculus, the relationship between fractal and fractional calculus, unconventional statistics and anomalous diffusion, typical applications of fractional calculus, and the numerical solution of the fractional differential equation. It also includes latest findings, such as variable order derivative, distributed order derivative and its applications. Different from other textbooks in this subject, the book avoids lengthy mathematical demonstrations, and presents the theories in close connection to the applications in an easily readable manner. This textbook is intended for students, researchers and professionals in applied physics, engineering mechanics, and applied mathematics. It is also of high reference value for those in environmental mechanics, geotechnical mechanics, biomechanics, and rheology.\nFrom the Back Cover\nThis book highlights the theory of fractional calculus and its wide applications in mechanics and engineering.
