We implement the local discontinuous Galerkin method for these fractional models with the upwind numerical fluxes. To obtain high-order results with adequate accuracy, the third-order approximation polynomials are used. Finally, to validate the scheme, the results are compared with the solutions of a semi-analytical method. %U https://jmm.guilan.ac.ir/article_5085_58a41872757ce24339bd2ed281ccafb4.pdf
