Exploring Propagating Soliton Solutions for the Fractional Kudryashov–Sinelshchikov Equation in a Mixture of Liquid–Gas Bubbles under the Consideration of Heat Transfer and Viscosity

Abstract

In this research work, we investigate the complex structure of soliton in the Fractional Kudryashov–Sinelshchikov Equation (FKSE) using conformable fractional derivatives. Our study involves the development of soliton solutions using the modified Extended Direct Algebraic Method (mEDAM). This approach involves a key variable transformation, which successfully transforms the model into a Nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equation (NODE). Following that, by using a series form solution, the NODE is turned into a system of algebraic equations, allowing us to construct soliton solutions methodically. The FKSE is the governing equation, allowing for heat transmission and viscosity effects while capturing the behaviour of pressure waves in liquid–gas bubble mixtures. The solutions we discover include generalised trigonometric, hyperbolic, and rational functions with kinks, singular kinks, multi-kinks, lumps, shocks, and periodic waves. We depict two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and contour graphs to aid comprehension. These newly created soliton solutions have far-reaching ramifications not just in mathematical physics, but also in a wide range of subjects such as optical fibre research, plasma physics, and a variety of applied sciences.
