Abstract
In this work, an analytical solution for the steady-state fractional advection-diffusion equation was investigated to simulate the dispersion of air pollutants in a finite media. The authors propose a method that uses classic integral transform technique (CITT) to solve the transformed problem with a fractional derivative, resulting in a more general solution. We compare the solutions with data from real experiment. Physical consequences are discussed with the connections to generalised diffusion equations. In the wake of these analysis, the results indicate that the present solutions are in good agreement with those obtained in the literature. This report demonstrates that fractional equations have come of age as a decisive tool to describe anomalous transport processes.

To see a possible generalisation of this problem, in the same spirit as in Weiss treatise [58], in Fourier–Laplace space
the Fourier transform of \(\phi \left( k \right) \) is an operator in k. Thus
Assume that subdiffusion is characterised by a finite transfer variance \(\Sigma ^2 \) associated with a diverging characteristic waiting time. Considering the expansions for small k and the usual long-time limit [59], we reach the relation
Using the definition of the Riemann–Liouville fractional differentiation of order \(1-\alpha \), \(0<\alpha <1\) [60]
The integration of the corresponding theorem of Laplace transformation can be shown to hold for fractional integration
We obtain the fractional partial equation
by considering the operator
Let us consider the fractional diffusion-type eq. (50), in combination with the separation ansatz
The resulting equation
is then separated into the pair of eigenequations [42, 61]
for an eigenvalue \(\lambda _{n,\alpha }\) of L(z).
