This approach yields fifteen solitary wave solutions for each equation of the three-dimensional FWBBM model, including trigonometric, hyperbolic, algebraic, and mixed-function types. The obtained solutions describe diverse soliton shapes such as bell-shaped, anti-bell-shaped, singular, and periodic solitons, which illustrate the rich dynamical behavior of nonlinear dispersive waves.

The equation models wave phenomena in materials where memory effects play an important role, for example porous mediums and viscoelastic structures. We use the Lie symmetry methods together with the traveling wave reductions to obtain the exact solutions.

These functions describe the role of nonlinearity and fractional-order temporal damping on wave propagation. The graphical representation of the solutions suggest that the parameter <em>α</em> more or less dictates the behavior of the wave by affecting its concentration in space, decay rate, and speed at which it propagates.
