Abstract
This paper deals with an approximate analytical solution of multi-dimensional, time-fractional coupled viscous Burgers’ equation obtained by employing “homotopy perturbation method” where fractional derivative is of Caputo type. Three test problems are carried out in order to validate and illustrate the efficiency of the method for TFCB equation. The results are also depicted in graphically for different values of fractional order \(\alpha \) and Reynolds number. It is found that the proposed series solutions converges rapidly for large Reynolds numbers (Re \(\ge 100\)).
