Abstract
A standard model for non-local diffusive transport, applicable when the heterogeneity length scales are power-law distributed, is to represent the flux in terms of a fractional derivative. Here, a recently proposed scheme for fractional diffusive transport, the control volume weighted flux scheme (CVWFS), which is based on Caputo fractional derivatives, is extended to operate in two or more dimensions. The essential feature in the CVWFS is the representation of the flux at a point as a weighted sum of gradients operating up- and down-stream of that point. Following presentation of the scheme, the convergence and accuracy of the CVWFS, using alternative weightings, is demonstrated and its accuracy illustrated by comparing numerical predictions with two-dimensional analytical solutions.
