| Summary: | In this paper, an approximate analytical solution of the time fractional gas dynamics equation arising in the shock fronts, is obtained using a recent semi-analytical method referred as fractional reduced differential transform method. The fractional derivatives are considered in the Caputo sense. To validate the efficiency and reliability of the method, four numerical examples of the linear and nonlinear gas dynamics equations are considered. Computed results are compared with results available in the literature. It is found that obtained results agree excellently with DTM, and FHATM. The solutions behavior and its effects for different values of the fractional order are shown graphically. The main advantage of the method is easiness to implement and requires small size of computation. Hence, it is a very effective and efficient semi-analytical method for solving the fractional order gas dynamics equation.
