In this research, we applied the variational homotopic perturbation method and q-homotopic analysis method to find a solution of the advection partial differential equation featuring time-fractional Caputo derivative and time-fractional Caputo–Fabrizio derivative. A detailed comparison of the obtained results was reported. All computations were done using Mathematica.
In this research work, we have suggested the q-homotopic analysis method and the variational homotopic perturbation method to find a solution for the advection partial differential equations with time-fractional derivatives. We applied the methods based on Caputo–Fabrizio and Caputo derivatives1,2 in order to compare the reported results. This work at first has been conducted in order to use the homotopic analysis method by Liao3 and further to use it in order to solve PDEs featuring time-fractional derivative. El-Tawil and Huseen4 proposed a method called which is considered a more general method of HAM. There exists a supportive parameter n and h in such that on concession that , the standard HAM can be obtained. Otherwise, we consider the VHPIM.5 It should be noted that there are no accurate analytical solutions for most of the fractional differential equations. Consequently, for such equations we have to employ some direct and iterative methods. Researchers have used variant methods to solve fractional differential equations (FDEs) and fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs) in recent years. These methods include Abdomina’s decomposition method,6,7 variational iteration method ,8,9 HPM,10–12 and HAM.13–17
There are some books and papers related to applications of fractional calculus fitting real data for interested readers.18–22
This work is arranged as follows: in section “Preliminaries,” the preliminaries are introduced. In section “Fundamental notion of the q.HAM,” the description of the is offered. The VHPIM in section “Fundamental of VHPIM” is explained. In section “Application and consequences,” the application of and VHPIM to the advection differential equation featuring time-fractional derivative is illustrated and makes a comparison of and VHPIM featuring Caputo–Fabrizio and Caputo derivative, respectively. Finally, in section “Conclusion,” some conclusions regarding the proposed method are drawn.

Fundamental notion of the q.HAM
To explain the essential notions of the for time-fractional PDEs, we consider

here , is the embedded parameter, is a supportive parameter, is a supportive function, is a supportive linear operator, and is primary speculation. Clearly, since and , equation (6) turns out to be
in the state order. Therefore, q goes up from to , the answer changes to the primary speculation to . If , , h, and are selected suitably, answer of equation (7) exists for .
Here, we consider the Taylor series expression of with respect to q in

Stage 2
By utilizing the HPM and VIM, we obtain the below formula
In equation (19), is a secured parameter and is a primary estimate of formula (5).
Balancing the sentences featuring the same powers of p in two sides of the formula (18), we may obtain .
Eventually, conforming to HPM, when p tends to be , we can gain the answer with approximation
Differently, conforming to VIM, the rectification functional (19) that may be uttered by approximation is stated as
where is a rectification functional; however, is assumed as a surrounded variation, that is, .
Afterward, by creating functional stationary
the Lagrange multiplier will be equal to . Thus, the following repetition rule to be earned
Applying equation (19), we can create the repetition rule as follows
Balanced with the coefficient of some power of p in two hands of equation (23), we can get . As a consequence HPM, we can gain an answer of equation (5)
