Solutions with Wright functions for time fractional convection flow near a heated vertical plate

We investigate the unsteady flow of a viscous fluid near a vertical heated plate. The momentum and energy equations are considered as fractional differential equations with respect to the time t. Solutions of the initial-boundary values problem are determined by means of the Laplace transform technique and are represented by means of the Wright functions. The fundamental solution for the temperature field is obtained. This allows obtaining the temperature field for different conditions on the wall temperature. A numerical case is analyzed in order to obtain information regarding the influence of the fractional parameters on the temperature and velocity fields. Some physical aspects of the fluid behavior are presented by graphical illustrations.
