KdV types of equations play an important role in many fields. In this paper, we study a seventh-order generalized KdV equation and its fractional version in fluid mechanics using symmetry. From symmetry, the corresponding vectors, symmetry reduction and conservation laws are derived. Potential equation is also analyzed with regard to the symmetry method. Based on the symmetry, similarity reductions and conservation laws are also presented. Subsequently, the fractional version of the seventh-order KdV equation is discussed. Finally, differential invariants are constructed for the special case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
