Abstract :
Oil spills in the seas and oceans cause pollution and have many destructive environmental effects. The
diffusion (parabolic) equations are the most reasonable option to model the propagation of this leakage
and contamination. These equations allow statistics regarding the amount of oil that has outreached the
ocean outlet, to be used as initial and boundary conditions for a mathematical model of oil diffusion and
alteration in seas. As it involves the hyperbolic (advection/wave) component of the equation, the most
reasonable choices are diffusion and Allen–Cahn (AC) equations, which are difficult to solve
numerically. Equations of diffusion and Allen-Cahn were solved with different degrees of fractional
derivatives (α= 0.25, α=0.5, α=0.75 and α=0.75), and the oil pollution concentration was obtained at a
specific time and place. This study adopts the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) for nonlinear
Allen–Cahn (AC) equation and time fractional diffusion equation to express oil pollution in the water.
Fractional derivatives are portrayed in the sense of Caputo. Two presented examples illustrate the
applicability and validity of the proposed method. Pollution concentrations in flow field over an interval
of time and space for different degrees of fractional derivation are shown. At lower fraction derivative
degrees, the pollution concentration behavior is nonlinear, and as the degree of fraction derivation
increases to one, the nonlinear behavior of the pollution concentration decreases. The results produced
by the suggested technique compared to the exact solutions shows that it is efficient and convenient; it
is also reduces computational time.
