Abstract

In this paper, we give a detailed analysis for the explicit finite difference approximation for time fractional soil moisture diffusion equation (TFSMDE). Furthermore, the stability and convergence of the scheme in a bounded domain are discussed. As an application of the scheme we solve some test problems and their solutions are represented graphically by a powerful software Mathematica.
