Deskripsi
In this paper, it is shown that the mathematical description of the bulk fluid flow and that of content impurity spread, which uses temporal Caputo or temporal Riemann–Liouville fractional order partial derivatives, having integral representation on a finite interval, in the case of a horizontal unconfined aquifer is non-objective. The basic idea is that different observers using this type of description obtain different results which cannot be reconciled, in other words, transformed into each other using only formulas that link the numbers representing a moment in time for two different choices from the origin of time measurement. This is not an academic curiosity; it is rather a problem to find which one of the obtained results is correct.
