Description

In this article, anomalous transport models of energetic particles in space plasmas are developed by deriving the fractional force-less Fokker–Planck equation and the fractional diffusion-advection equation from the Klein–Kramers equation. Analytical solutions of the space-time fractional equations are obtained by use of the Caputo and the Riesz fractional derivatives with the Laplace–Fourier technique. The solutions are given in terms of Fox's H-function and the profiles of the particles densities are discussed in each case for different values of fractional orders.
