Firstly, an exact one-point PDF transport equation is derived from the Burgers equation with a stochastic external force, and then the conditional advection and diffusion terms are modeled for closure by using two respective models. Secondly, three numerical methods are employed to solve the modeled PDF transport equation: the mesh-based Lagrangian particle Monte Carlo (MC) method, the original quadrature method of moments (QMOM), and the linear QMOM (LQMOM) as modified in this work. The numerical tests verify the viability of using the PDF modeling method to study Burgers turbulence and show that the MC method, LQMOM and QMOM can yield results comparable to the DNS solution, and the LQMOM is more efficient than the QMOM and MC method.

This paper investigates the incompressible flow of an Eyring-Powell magneto-nanofluid model (EPMNM) over a stretching surface. The effects of thermal and solutal mechanisms are analyzed by incorporating variable thermal conductivity, mass diffusivity, chemical reactions, and heat sources. The Buongiorno model is employed to capture the influence of nanofluids through thermophoresis and Brownian motion. The relevant transformations convert the governing PDEs into coupled nonlinear ODEs. The numerical solution is obtained using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method in conjunction with the shooting technique. Furthermore, the Levenberg-Marquardt Neural Network Algorithm (LMNNA) is employed in an intelligent, ANN-based numerically validated solver to analyze the resulting fluid model. The BVP4C approach generated a chart displaying the behavior of the friction drag, Local Motile Density Number (LMDN), thermal, and solutal transportation rates. A dataset for various scenarios of the intriguing and comprehensive nanofluid model has been produced by exploiting BVP4C. The strengths of the machine learning analysis using LMNNA are then investigated through physical quantities such as SFC, LNN, LSHN, and LMDN. Datasets comprising 60 and 45 outcomes are categorized into three groups: training (70%), validation (15%), and testing (15%). The hidden layer consists of ten neurons.

The first method exploits the integral representation of the exact solution and employs a Krylov-based approximation to compute the action of the matrix Mittag–Leffler function on a block of vectors. The second approach projects the original high-dimensional fractional system onto an extended block Krylov subspace, reducing it to a significantly smaller fractional differential system. This reduced system is then solved using either a tailored implementation of the Grünwald-Letnikov scheme or a fractional backward differentiation formula, both adapted to the projected setting. The resulting low-rank approximate solution is iteratively refined by expanding the projection subspace until a prescribed tolerance is achieved. We derive explicit expressions for the residual and error norms and establish associated convergence estimates. To validate the computational efficiency and accuracy of the proposed methods, we conduct extensive numerical experiments on several benchmark problems.
