The standard version of acoustic wave equation is modified using the concept of the generalized Riemann-Liouville fractional order derivative. Some properties of the generalized Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative approximation are presented. Some theorems are generalized. The modified equation is approximately solved by using the variational iteration method and the Green function technique. The numerical simulation of solution of the modified equation gives a better prediction than the standard one. 1. Introduction A derivation of general linearized wave equations is discussed by Pierce and Goldstein [1, 2]. However, neglecting Acoustics was in the beginning the study of small pressure the nonlinear effects in this equation, may lead to inaccurate waves in air which can be detected by the human ear: sound. prediction of the propagation of acoustic wave through The possibility of acoustics has been extended to higher the medium. Therefore in order to include explicitly the and lower frequencies: ultrasound and infrasound. Structural effect of corresponding relative density fluctuations in the vibrations are now often included in acoustics. Also the mathematicalformulation,oneneedstoinsertitinthe perception of sound is an area of acoustical research. In our partial differential equation that governs the propagation present paper we will limit ourselves to the original definition of the acoustic wave. Recently, the acoustic equation was andtothepropagationinfluidslikeairandwater.Insucha extended to the concept of fractional order derivative in [3]. caseacousticsisapartoffluiddynamics.Amajorproblemof Therefore in this paper, our concern is the modification of fluid dynamics is that the equations of motion are nonlinear. the previous equation by perturbing the order of the first This implies that an exact general solution of these equations derivative by replacing the first order of the derivative with is not available. Acoustics is a first-order approximation in 1+where is a positive small parameter. Also, when we which nonlinear effects are neglected. The corresponding consider diffusion process in porous medium, if the medium / relative density fluctuations 0 are considered very small structure or external field changes with time, in this situation, [1]. The acoustic wave equation governs the propagation of the ordinary integer order and constant-order fractional acoustic waves through a material medium. The form of the diffusion equation model cannot be used to well characterize equation is a second-order partial differential equation. The such phenomenon (see [3–9]). equation describes the evolution of acoustic pressure or particle velocity as a function of position and time .A simplified form of the equation that describes acoustic waves 2.
